If you sell cards, you get to sell only one type of good per turn, and you get as many chips from that good as you sold cards.

Diamonds, gold, silver, cloth, spices, leather," you shout from your stall into the hustle and bustle of the market. Bought after years of reading recommendations as a two player game that was fast, fun, and more skill than luck.For sets of three or more cards sold, players will be able to take a token which will contain a hidden amount of points. With its very fast playtime, quick turns, simple rules and very attractive pieces, as well as its small size, Jaipur is a must have for any fan of two player games. Players will need to balance selling goods early to get the highest value for their sale and holding on to cards to get the lucrative 5 card bonus token.

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. Jaipur takes this concept to its most extreme, pitting its players against one another in a bitter battle that will undoubtedly leave someone feeling hard done by.Jaipur is fast-paced and has a nice balance of luck and skill that makes it a good choice for passing time and for couples. With just a few narrow pages of rules to learn, it’s well suited for beginners or casual players but there’s easily enough strategy and replayability here to appeal to more hardcore board game fans too.

Firstly, a player may simply take any face up card and then replenish the market with the next card from the deck. But, if you sell a large number of goods and have no camels, then you will have to replenish your hand with a single card each round (until you decide to take all of the camels to build a herd).On a side note, Jaipur is a great example of a game that plunges you into a completely new and captivating atmosphere and story. No strategy works the same twice as your opponent and you battle it out for large hauls or high-value items and of course, the camels.
