Procedure:
Each player has three decks of cards, which are displayed in each case as open-ranging series cards.
In turn leading players from the foremost card one of their caravans and lined it to the end of the card number again. Depending on the nature of the costs in the form of goods you have to pay for it and can then perform specific actions. Some cards offer a number of actions, from which one can choose. If it is a so-called parting action, so the card is then out of the game.
Attract new people (standard or special cards) from the corresponding deck and the rest of his caravan classified (eg Patriarch or nobles).
Choose a card from the discard pile and in his cards back row sorting (matriarch, gray eminence).
Certain spices, gold and / or donkey raise on its own scoreboard / adapt as market woman Pflanzerin or quacks.
With the collected goods orders from the open display meet (spice merchants, Zimtfürst, huckster).
Attract orders from concealed deck and meet certain conditions (eg met the peasant cornfields free, the blacksmith all Specialty & small orders).
The game ends when a player reaches a certain number of points obtained orders and personalities. A special feature is the farmer: It counts for each own cornfield one victory point.
Conclusion:
In Kashgar is a deck-building game, of which in recent years some have been published (Dominion, Thunderstone, Trains, Mage Knight): Players start with a little hole cards and make up little by little her deck. But Kashgar is distinguished by a very interesting feature: Each player builds not only on a deck of cards, but turns three independent decks together, all of which are in plain sight. This allows you to better plan its actions than the other of its kind. In which one has to rely on that one the hand receives the cards of their Deck in certain combinations (eg certain action cards or a certain amount of money). In Kashgar This gives more options: I have, for example in one of my caravans a card that can fulfill an order, but not all the spices together, I can foresee Activate my other caravans to get me the missing goods. This mechanism with the independent, open decks like it very much.
The luck factor comes in Kashgar mainly by tightening the concealed deck expansion cards into play (especially at the beginning of the game). Later, you can targeted cards from the discard pile pick. The important thing is to find an optimal balance between characters that bring more goods and action cards, with which you can fulfill orders. Without enough trade goods you can not pay the orders. But no one can Auftragserfüller his full spice warehouse also not silver (= in points convert). Another strategy is pursued with the farmers: With it, you can draw two hidden orders and receive free a wheat field. Here then Fortuna has her hands again in the game.
One should make a suitable card combinations such as Bauer (requires gold and one particular special orders) - quack (increased gold) - Farrier (requires gold and fulfilled free special orders).
Or baker (requires Pepper for its function) - Basket maker (increased pepper) etc.
The game comes out with few rules and maps short texts, so that a quick start is possible. Thus, it plays out quite loose. When the cards texts I would, however, have liked a little more options.
In the standard map, the functions usually act only on their own decks. There are also a few additional cards, which have an impact on the opponents. This slightly more interaction comes into play.
A nice, casual "multi-deck construction game".
