Goal

Earn more money than your opponents trading jewels in the bazar. You can trade with 3 types of jewels: sapphires, rubies and emeralds. But be cereful, because the prices change every round!

How to play

Each player starts with 30 grands (the currency of the game) and no jewels in hand.

The game consists of 27 rounds and each round has two phases:

  • Update bazar prices
  • Trade jewels

Update bazar prices

Players reveal the first Prices Card of the deck, then update the prices board according to the increments/decrements shown on the card by moving the meeples. These will be the jewels prices until the end of the round.

For each jewel type there are 9 Prices Cards incrementing their price (with a +1), 9 decrementing it (with a -1) and 9 without change (with a 0).

Trade jewels

The first player of the current round buy and/or sell all jewels they desire. Then other players, in clockwise order, take turns to make their tradings.

  • To sell jewels return them to the bazar earning their current market price
  • Players can not buy jewels they can not pay, as well as they can not buy jewels not available in the bazar
  • Players must buy at least one jewel each round, but they are not obliged to sell
  • Players can not buy and sell same jewel type in the same round
  • Players can never have more than 4 jewels in hand. If they start their turn with 4 jewels they must sell some jewels before perform the required buy
