Build your Silk Road trading empire
Grow caravans across legendary cities, outpace your rival Marco, climb the weekly Merchant Leagues, and prestige into a mightier dynasty — a warm, premium idle tycoon.
Why traders love it
A cozy, ever-growing empire that rewards clever routes and daily returns.
Idle earnings
Your caravans keep trading even while you are away. Collect offline profits and reinvest into bigger routes.
Weekly Merchant Leagues
Compete with 49 merchants every week. Promote from Bronze to Silk and earn legacy rewards.
Rival caravans
Race Marco across the desert map. Overtake your rival and claim the lead on the trade route.
Prestige generations
Reset your empire for permanent income bonuses and begin a wealthier new dynasty.
How it works
Three simple loops that keep your empire growing.
Grow your caravans
Buy donkeys, camels and grand caravans. Unlock cities and markets to multiply your income per second.
Compete in leagues
Report your weekly earnings, climb your group of 50 merchants, and promote through Bronze, Silver, Gold and Silk.
Prestige & repeat
Reset for permanent legacy bonuses, then rebuild a mightier empire even faster. The loop never gets old.
Weekly Merchant Leagues
Every week you’re placed in a group of 50 traders. Earn more than your rivals to finish in the top 10 and promote — slip to the bottom 10 and you’ll relegate. Climb all the way from Bronze to the prestigious Silk league and earn legacy rewards each season.
Fair play enforced by automated anti-cheat. In-game rewards only — no real-money prizes.
Peek inside the bazaar
A warm, premium idle world in your pocket.
