About

Silk Road is a business game based on Asian cultures, focusing on the merchants of the Ancient Orient. Each team represents a group of merchants travelling along the ancient Silk Road. Participants wore traditional silk hats and were named after towns along the Silk Road, giving the event the feel and atmosphere one would imagine encountering in an antique market in the Orient. Each merchant was issued a Chinese drawstring wallet containing jade, raw silk, horse and gold to signify wealth and, more importantly, important information about the value of the items and information about the market for these products.
