How to play Kashgar: Merchants of the Silk Road

Kashgar: Merchants of the Silk Road has players manage three lines of cards, using the front card in a line each turn to gain resources, complete contracts, or add new cards behind it. It feels like a focused economic card game with timing decisions as each action changes what will be available later. It suits 2 to 4 players who want a 45-minute strategy game with deck-building elements; it is especially suited to two players.
