Amul

In ancient times, Amul was a major hub of international trade and a key stop on the Great Silk Road. Its glory as a merchant city reached its peak after the Arabian conquest in the 10th century, but it was sadly destroyed by the Mongols in 1220. Originally named Silk Road, Amul is an exciting card game set in bustling bazaars, suitable for up to eight ambitious merchants. Each player takes on the role of a determined merchant, vying for wealth and success. The innovative card - drafting system allows for quick and simultaneous gameplay, keeping all players actively involved. Draft cards from the market to gather goods, valuables, hire guards, form caravans, and make deals with traders. Manage your hand smartly, as only specific cards can be played on the table for points, while others are crucial for end - game scoring. Amul offers fast, engaging gameplay and stunning artwork.

To play Amul, first gather up to eight players. Each player becomes a merchant. The game starts with a market of cards. You'll draft cards from this market to collect goods, hire guards, and do other merchant - like things. When drafting, think about your strategy. You need to balance collecting cards for immediate points on the table and keeping cards in your hand for better end - game scoring. Remember, not all cards can be played right away. As you play, make contracts with traders and assemble caravans. When it comes to maintenance, keep the cards in a dry place to prevent damage. Avoid bending or creasing the cards. Also, if you're playing with a group, make sure everyone understands the rules before starting to avoid any confusion during the game.
