**************************************************
"In 1271, 17-year-old Marco Polo started on a journey to China with his father and older brother. After a long and grueling journey that led through Jerusalem and Mesopotamia and over the "Silk Road", they reached the court of Kublai Khan in 1275.
In The Voyages of Marco Polo, players recreate this journey, with each player having a different character from history with a special power in the game. The game is played over five rounds. Each round, the players roll their five personal dice and can perform one action each turn with them. Each action requires the use of one or more dice, and can be collecting resources or money, acquiring contracts or traveling on the board. When traveling, each player begins at Venice and can decide between several routes eastward, all the way to Beijing. When a player stops at a city, they place a trading post there, giving them access to extra actions or resources for the rest of the game. The higher the value of the dice used for an action, the better the options that may be chosen, but also the more money the player must pay if an opponent has already chosen the same action.
After five rounds, the game ends with players receiving extra victory points for having trading posts in Beijing, fulfilling the most orders, and having trading posts in the cities on secret city cards that each player gets at the start of the game.
This game should not be confused with Marco Polo Expedition, which has the same German title."

Have you played The Voyages of Marco Polo? What about The Voyages of Marco Polo 2? Which do you prefer?
Yes, and I like both!
I love dice placement so both Marco Polo games are among my favourites. Not sure which one I like more! Great review!
Thank you so much ❤️ and yes, they certainly are up there as some of the best dice placement games.
Love when you review the classics! Great review, great game!
Hey Bradley. Long time no chat 😍. We miss you... Yes, Judie and I are back to shorter review videos again because we've really missed making them. And you are right, taking a look at the classics is so much fun.
Thank you so much for watching, and thank you for dropping a message♥️
Yay! One of my all-time favourites! Marco Polo II is also fantastic - if you add in the Caravans expansion I think I like it better than Voyages, but they're both great. So glad you got to finally play, and also love that you're going to be doing quick reviews now! All the thumbs up! 😃
Woohoo, thanks for the comment♥️. Yup, pretty great game eh? And thanks for letting us know about Marco Polo 2... Yes, more quick reviews to come ♥️
#OldieGoodie 😄❤
I missed these!!! I was just thinking I wanted to hear you talk more about games you enjoy!! Also super funny because I've been recently considering this game! I remember it was one of the first games that caught our attention but we were told it lasted 25 min per player... and i thought that meant each TURN. So we walked right past it hahaha. It's been yeeeears and I didnt know this was a dice game and I LOVE DICE!!!! So it's awesome you guys have done this review now!
Keep em coming!!!
Oh awesome. I'm glad we were able to help with more intimidation. Yes. It's a dice game, and a pretty great one. Thanks, as always, for your comment.
Hey guys! Great channel! Glad you liked the game!
Awww, thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoyed it ♥️
i love voyages! it’s one of my most favorite games with its game-breakingly overpowered completely different player powers. And Judie, it is totally fun to teleport…
Oooohhhhh, I'm sure we'll get a chance to try teleporting soon 😉😍
Yay~ Teleport! Teleport! Teleport!...
