9.0/10
A lot more enjoyable than I'd thought it would be. And it's a lot faster too! Has it's fair share of faults but it's fun and fast enough to play it again.

At the intersection of the most well-traveled trade routes in the old world lies a city within rose-colored cliffs. A place where caravans miles long enter the city, through a narrow canyon called “the Siq.” Inside, traders from faraway lands find shelter and a place to trade their wares among the stunning buildings carved into towering red rocks. This is Petra, and never before or since has there been a city quite like it.

9.0/10
Might seem like an oddly high score for what is essentially a 6-7 game. But for me, this game has added nostalgia factors, as I have travelled to Jordan in 2017 and visited the ancient city of Petra. So for me, this game evokes those memories, and for that reason, I like it a great deal more than I should. It also feels super different to many other games and that makes every play enjoyable.

8.0/10
This game works very well. Nice game mechanics, all neatly interwoven. As I had the chance to visit the real location, it was a must to buy it. I really like this little juwel of trading games, even there is not a smashing new idea behind it.
8.0/10
The only fiddly thing is the symbols on the merchant tiles and the player board, it takes some time to get used to combining wares and merchants. Otherwise, this is a fun racing game, and several strategies can be implemented by using the mini-markets.
