Traders of the Silk Road is a tabletop card strategy game by independent game developer Arrogant Pixel.
It is a historical, turn based card game based on the ancient trading routes that trailed throughout Africa, Asia and Europe. It aims to highlight underrepresented cultures and real-life historical locations through its authentic and stunning card designs.

GAMEPLAY
Players are pitted against each other to gain the most money and commodities. They will visit different locations as they progress through the game and attempt to outbid each other on new stock. These items can be either sold for a profit, used by the player to protect themselves, or to gain an advantage over others.
Rounds are played in 3 stages: Location Phase, Auction Phase, and Player Phase. In each, players will grow their inventory and pad their pockets - but will have to watch out for tragedy rearing its head and stealing their fortunes.

THE TEAM
Established in 2015, Arrogant Pixel LTD is a game development studio based in London, UK. Our games aim to deliver unexpected and genre-subverting experiences with a lot of heart. We are ambitious in our goal to release award winning, chart-topping games that stand out from the crowd.
We are a video game company based in West London, but our team hails from all over the world. We are known as being the creators of “The Tale of Doris and the Dragon”; a point and click adventure game series released on Newgrounds in 2015. Since then, we have released a remastered Episode 1, and we unveiled Episode 2 in 2020.
Our games have been awarded at UK Game of the Show, Digital Big Indie Pitch, and have received funding from UK Games Fund. Our original point and click adventure game, The Tale of Doris and the Dragon, received Daily 3rd Place and Frontpage on Newgrounds, and the Pocket Gamer Bronze Award.
Our studio has grown slowly over time, with a number of voluntary and paid contributors coming and going since 2015. In the last few years, we’ve been developing “Terratorial”, a space Real-Time Strategy game that is designed for new players in the genre, alongside some projects created for clients with needs in game development or multimedia creation.
