As a merchant of the Silk Road in the center of the world, your goal is to buy and sell specialty goods as you move from one bustling city to another to become a wealthy merchant. In this game, players must create trade routes that connect two cities by aligning tiles with images of roads on top of the board while using a rough map for hints. After you create trade routes, you need to compare them with more accurate maps. If there are special goods on the routes you create, you can collect points. However, there are certain goods that can also deduct points, so you need to be careful when creating routes. Moreover, you only have two minutes to create the routes. Think of the best possible routes within the limited time and strive for good and efficient trading.

The game is played in rounds. After first using the trading cards to determine the destination city and the value of the local goods, the hourglass is set and trading begins. You then refer to your personal special goods card as you quickly place route tiles to connect cities. The fastest traders and those who have completed the most routes will be rewarded with bonuses. At the end, answer keys are placed on top, the goods obtained are confirmed and points are received. After repeating this four times, the traders who have scored the most points are the winners.
