The goal is to make it all the way across the silk road following the same path as Marco Polo. You will make decisions at each city market about what to buy and what to sell. Hunt along the way to save on food. Defend your caravan from marauders. Make careful decisions about pace/rations/load to maximize your end profit and keep as many members alive as possible. Refill your water skins at each city and random Oasis's.
For my decentralized part I'm giving an advantage to anyone who has mr.brown nfts, if you login and have Mr.Brown nfts the first member of your caravan is Mr.Brown and he can't die or get sick based on random events only on bad decisions like running out of water or clothes. Also your end score is multiplied by how many mr.brown nfts you have.

Thanks to everyone who helped play test on the JS13k slack channel
My Mom for helping me brainstorm game ideas and insisting that every game I made is mobile friendly so she can play it on her phone.
My kids for play testing... they say it's very hard to survive and keep asking to play.
