Century: Spice Road is the first in a series of games that delves into the history of each century, with spice - trading as the theme. In this game, you become a caravan leader traveling the famous silk road to deliver spices and gain fame and glory. Each turn, you can choose from four actions: establish a trade route by taking a market card, make a trade or harvest spices by playing a card from your hand, fulfill a demand by meeting a victory point card’s requirements and claiming it, or rest by taking back all the cards you’ve played. The last round starts when a player claims their fifth victory point card, and the one with the most victory points wins.
