Silkworm Smugglers

Silkworm Smugglers is a strategy game set in the 6th century CE Byzantine Empire. You play as one of the two Nestorian monks who must acquire and smuggle silkworms from China to the Byzantine Empire, while navigating dangerous routes and avoiding detection. Once you successfully bring the silkworms back to Byzantium, you must establish and manage a successful silk industry, while dealing with the dangers of rival factions, trick trade deals, and war. Can you establish a silkworm monopoly and make the Byzantine Empire rich?
