To view the purposes they believe they have legitimate interest for, or to object to this data processing use the vendor list link below. When you play Merchant cards, consider placing them in an overlapping row, with the spice icons visible to you (rather than in one heap). In the illustrated example, you were allowed to turn a yellow turmeric into a red saffron and do the same again, or convert the converted saffron into a green cardamom. Some of our partners may process your data as a part of their legitimate business interest without asking for consent.
Century: Spice Road can accommodate two to five players – however, we recommend playing it at three players and up (at two players it can become a bit predictable). In addition, each gold coin is worth 3 points, each silver coin is worth 1 point and all spices better than turmeric(yellow) earn 1 point per wooden cube.These coins are metal (just try to resist that delightful clink) and, like everything else in the box, contribute to Spice Road’s universally breathtaking visual panache, from its gorgeous cards to the spices, which come with four diddly bowls to tidy up unruly heaps of cubes. In Century: Spice Road, players are caravan leaders who travel the famed silk road to deliver spices to the far reaches of the continent for fame and glory. Sometimes we may include links to online retailers, from which we might receive a commission if you make a purchase. However, in this tutorial we’re only focusing on how to play the one that set the ball rolling – Century: Spice Road.
You may have even cashed in a handful of your spices for one or two of the scoring cards, perhaps claiming a gold or silver coin from the two leftmost slots for bonus points. Now you’ve got an at-a-glance view of which cards you have in your arsenal for later, when you Rest and pick them all back up.I did enjoy it as expected but what was unexpected was the fact my partner (someone who dislikes games) really loves this game too. So, this Upgrade card could be used to upgrade, say, two turmerics into two safrans, or, say, one turmeric into one cardamon. You’ve spent the first few turns slowly filling your caravan with the dinky coloured cubes that represent the four spices – turmeric, saffron, cardamom and cinnamon – being traded, exchanging them for more valuable seasonings using upgrade cards and filling out your hand of dealers, who allow you to swap one combination of cubes for another. The game-end triggers once any player completes five Points cards (in a four- or five-player game; six Points cards in a two- or three-player game). The last round is triggered once a player has claimed their fifth victory point card, then whoever has the most victory points wins.
When Century: Spice Road was released in 2017 by Plan B Games, some people were quick to label it as Splendor’s brother from another mother. Take as many caravan cards (gray back) as players are playing, including the one market with the purple start player symbol. To get the most out of your time with Spice Road, we’d recommend playing with around three or four players, opening up the more interesting interactive aspects of the design while keeping play time a comfortable length. It’s easily a superior successor to Splendor, and may well become the next card game phenomenon for those seeking meaningful gameplay without sacrificing looks – Spice Road is style and substance, perfectly combined.
Shuffle these and then deal out five face-up in a row, starting next to the pinch bowls, left to right. For someone who struggles with reading and learning rules even I managed to pick this game up within 10 minutes.
