Jaipur

Publication details: Game Works 2017Summary: 2 players Suitable for ages 12+ Play time 30 minutes You are one of the two most powerful traders in the city of Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, but that is not enough for you because only the merchant with two seals of excellence will have the privilege of being invited to the Maharaja s court. You are therefore going to have to do better than your direct competitor by buying, exchanging, and selling at better prices, all while keeping an eye on both your camel herds. Jaipur is a fast paced card game, a blend of tactics, risk and luck. On your turn, you can either take or sell cards. If you take cards, you have to choose between taking all the camels, taking one card from the market, or swapping 2-5 cards between the market and your cards. If you sell cards, you get to sell only one type of good, and you receive as many chips for that good as the number of cards you sold. The chips values decrease as the game progresses, so you had better hurry! On the other hand, you receive increasingly high rewards for selling three, four, or five cards of the same good at a time, so you had better wait! You can not sell camels, but they are paramount for trading and they are also worth a little something at the end of the round, enough sometimes to secure the win, so you have to use them smartly.
