Taschkent (2012)

About this game

In Taschkent 2-4 players are traveling with a caravan along the Silk Road in order to trade goods into gold or other commodities at trading posts. In the action rounds, the duration of which is random, players can build huts or trading posts at costs depending on the existing trade items. Alternatively, the players in the caravan can get money, goods, action cards or the necessary materials for new trading posts, as well as secure the starting player position for the next round. In the following trading rounds, goods may be exchanged in the trading posts if they are in demand there. For his goods, a player receives either gold or other commodities, the composition of which determines the outcome of the game.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
