About Marco Polo II: In the Service of the Khan, from BoardGameGeek:

The journeys of Marco Polo continue in Marco Polo II: In the Service of the Khan, an epic follow-up to The Voyages of Marco Polo. After traveling to Beijing, your travels now take you back to the West in the service of the Khan, sending you to the farthest reaches of his empire in search of wealth and fame. Marco Polo II is a standalone game based on The Voyages of Marco Polo. You don't need the original game to play this one. This new journey has a new board with action spaces, new mechanisms (Seals, Shields) with new and different actions, new scoring rules, and a new resource: Chinese jade. You still play merchants completing contracts for money. The game ends after 5 rounds have been completed. Points are sored on contracts, gold, shields, seals, and goods. The player with the most points wins. -description from the publisher

We're Amy & Maggie aka ThinkerThemer. We're an Australian couple with two very different perspectives of what makes a great board game - Amy (Thinker) is all about the mechanics and enjoys tight, competitive games, and Maggie (Themer) is all about the storytelling and the theme of the game, and the 'world' that the designer is trying to create. Subscribe to our channel to hear us talk in our reviews about these two elements of a game, and how well integrated we feel these are in delivering a cohesive and wonderful game experience.
