Century: Spice Road is the first game in a series that explores the history of each century, with spice trading as the theme for the first installment. In Century: Spice Road, you play as a caravan leader traveling along the famous Silk Road to deliver spices to the farthest corners of the continent for fame and glory. Each turn, players perform one of 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 the requirements of a victory point card and claiming it)
Rest (by taking all cards you've played back into your hand)
The final round is triggered when a player has claimed their fifth victory point card, and then the player with the most victory points wins.
