About this deal

Jaipur is played over a number of rounds. In Jaipur the players will take turns performing one action before play passes to the other player. On your turn you can take one of two actions. You are a great merchant in the great city of Jaipur. The Maharaja will invite only the richest merchant to be selected as the best trader in all the land. You must compete with your rival to be the first to achieve two seals of excellence. Buy, exchange, and sell goods at the best price on the market while all the while keeping an eye on your camel herd. Make the most money to gain a seal of excellence. All the types of goods are worth different amounts, from valuable diamonds to cheap leather, and more expensive goods are rarer. If you take a card from the market in the middle then you’re also taking a risk: that when its replacement gets drawn could be a high-value card for your opponent to grab. But the alternative is to sell, and it’s best to sell sets, but how can you collect a set without taking cards?

Sort the goods tokens by their type. Lay the tokens out on the table so they can all be seen with the highest valued tokens on top of the lower valued tokens. Learning the right time to take, sell and swap is key to doing well. It can, however, lead to cagey passages of play where players are selling single cards, or keep swapping to stop revealing a new card for their opponent, which can frustrate. But this is a) a minor issue when a game only takes about 10 minutes, and b) not the way everyone will choose to play anyway. The rules say you’re supposed to play best of three but if you’re really pushed for time a one-off is still lots of fun. If a player wants to sell cards they choose which type of good that they would like to sell. The player can only sell goods of one type each turn. To begin the selling process the player chooses how many cards of the chosen good they would like to sell. The player can sell as many cards of a good that they want, but they must sell at least two cards if they are selling diamonds, gold or silver. The chosen goods cards are added to the discard pile. The player will then take the corresponding number of tokens of the color of cards they sold. They will take the highest valued tokens remaining. If there are not enough tokens for the number of cards that a player has sold, the player loses out on the extra tokens they are owed.Cut your losses – If you are holding out for a bonus but your opponent also starts taking an interest in the same good as you, consider selling early, especially if high value, rare cards are as stake. It’s a risk worth considering, and games can be won and lost on it. Just note, you cannot have more than seven cards in your hand at the end of the turn (not including camels). There should also always be five cards in the market. Nominees - International Gamers Awards". Internationalgamersawards.net . Retrieved 3 November 2019. Take the goods you want from the market into your hand and exchange them with goods from your hand and/or your camel herd. You many never finish with more than seven cards in your hand. There’s a surprising number of strategies in Jaipur, and you’ll find yourself trying out new approaches as you gain experience – while also learning to respond to an opponent’s style. It’s fast-paced and portable too, which makes it the ideal lunch break or filler game, outside of large groups. There’s limited options each turn, so you’ll never spend much time umming and ahhing over a move and you can easily get in a best-of-three game within half an hour.

Jaipur has continued to be a popular game with recommendations into 2020 [4] [5] as well as being part of the Mind Sports Olympiad 2020 competition. [6] Honors [ edit ] You can’t sell camels, but they are integral to trading and they’re also worth a little something at the end of the round, sometimes enough to secure the win so use them smartly! At the end of the round, the player with the most camels in their herd receives the camel token, worth five rupees.Opponents vie to become the richest merchant in a best-of-three competition. You do this by collecting sets of commodities using cards from the common market, then trading them in for rupees. The more you have, the more you can earn. But don’t hang around too long or you might miss your chance. Jaipur is a really impressive and enjoyable two-player game that, taking probably under half an hour to play, you will find yourself pulling out over and over again.
