Successfully navigate the maze of silk roads from Istanbul to Shanghai, whilst visiting specific attractions along the way!
Sounds easy right? Try adding a few punctures, potholes and dodgy accommodation into the mix! Not to mention the other teams racing to get to Shanghai before you!
Just do whatever it takes to complete the Silk Road.

Strategy, foul-play and pure cunning meets classic racer!
Will you out smart your rivals by finding shortcuts? Sabotage them by stealing their fuel? Or perhaps you’ll be bribing the border guards with biscuits!
A unique combination of managing your cash flow, holding on to key tactical action cards, and making the right directional decisions will win you the game.
Play Nice or Play Dirty
Pick up action cards along the way to give you perks as well as ammunition against other players.
Plan Your Route
You'll need to visit attractions along the way - will you go out of your way to get fuel and money, go direct, or perhaps even take a boat?
Manage Your Money
Hotels and hostels cost money! You won't have enough to get you all the way so make sure to stop by at a few banks!
At a glance
Manage your money, take the right route and mess with your competitors' plans! You'll need an equal mix of skill, planning and savvyness to get to Shanghai first.
How to Win
There are many elements to winning (getting to Shanghai). You can have the best strategy but be taken down by your co-players uniting. The biggest piece of advice from us, the creators, is: plan your journey carefully and make sure you don’t run out of cash and fuel...it happens quicker than you think!
Strategy
Every playthrough is different. The key is thinking through your route carefully at the start of the game and making sure you plan ahead - whether that’s dashing to the finish line or taking it more slowly, making sure you stock up on fuel and cash. One thing is for sure, nothing is decided until the finish line (trust us!).
Route East is funded!
