Play merchant cards to produce and upgrade spice cubes, then spend the right combinations to claim victory point cards in this fast, elegant tableau-and-hand-management game along the ancient spice trade route.

The Essentials

  • Upgrade your cheap cubes into cinnamon and saffron early — high-value spices let you afford point cards in fewer turns.
  • Keep your hand small and efficient; a bloated hand of low-value cubes wastes turns you could spend claiming cards.
  • Watch which point cards your opponents are eyeing and grab a close one before they can complete it.
  • Balance producing new cards against upgrading — pure upgrading stalls if you run out of base cubes to convert.
  • Caravan cards (trading with the market) are often faster than playing merchant cards turn after turn.
  • Track the point card row constantly; new cards appear each turn and the best ones disappear fast.
