From palace to monastry, trade post to smugglers den – your town is worthless without the nobles, monks, merchants and rogues that chose to live in it – and keeping them all happy at the same time is never simple. More than spice travels your roads – musket armies, philosophies, and power plays that span the globe are at your control. You are a colonial governor in the 18th Century, building a town on the Spice Road in a time of war and discovery. 'Deep in the mountains and deserts of central Asia, where life is hard and death is sudden, thin trails of gold, silk and spice trace a web between the industrial forges of the West and the exotic climes of the East.' Spice Road is a town building, social and economic simulation game full of original challenges. Strategy, trade and empire building on the old Silk Road.
