What the community says about Merchants of Dunhuang

Es un filler de mayorías entretenido con un notable componente de azar que funciona bien a 3 y 4 jugadores. La producción es buena (aunque tampoco es una locura). Me gustaría destacar de él su sistema de doble mayoría (en mano y en la tienda) que le da cierto grado táctico para combatir esa caprichosa aleatoriedad. Recomiendo hacerse con él si lo encontráis de oferta por poquito dinero.
