Description
Merv: The Heart of the Silk Road is a tense economic game charting the rise and fall of the greatest city in the world.
In Merv, players are vying to amass power and wealth in the prosperous heart of the Silk Road. Through careful court intrigue, timely donations to the grand mosque, and favorable trade deals, players attempt to redirect as much of that prosperity as possible into their own pockets.
Meanwhile, beyond the city walls Mongol hordes approach. If you help construct the city walls, you give up on precious opportunities to build up your own stature, but leave it unprotected and you will burn with the city. Every decision is weighty and the consequences of each misstep are dire. Will you rise to prominence or fade into oblivion?

A late year gem! Great graphic design compared with a easy to understand icongraphy. Very neat automa mechanic. A meaningful theme that is embedded within the interesting new mechanics. Only small flaw I couldn`t find an explanation what the little cubes are made off. But looking at the main theme of the game, I think the cubes could be silk of different grading.
10.0/10
I've enjoyed my three plays thus far. The kind of game that keeps you thinking long after Game Night has ended. I really need to play it again, but there are so many games and not enough game nights. --- Update, June 2024: My assessment above held up through a Deep Dive Five and beyond. The action selection system is so much fun. I've enjoyed every play, and this game is currently my favorite. === Update, September 2025: This is my favorite game. I've since purchased Sankore and preordered Ayar. I need to get those played to see if I like them nearly as much.
10.0/10
I adore this game! The theme, the mechanics, the artwork, the quality of the components... as perfect as a board game can be!
10.0/10
Fantastic Gameplay, tricky and intelligent worker placement mechanism. Very good interlockings of Action fields and thrilling scoring within the last move. Very interesting in a 2 player round. A unexpected highlight of 2020. A top recommendation, gives it a try you don't regret it
