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 bazaar prices
- Trade jewels
Update bazaar 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 buys and/or sells all jewels they desire. Then other players, in clockwise order, take turns to make their tradings.

- To buy jewels take them from the bazaar paying their current market price
- To sell jewels return them to the bazaar earning their current market price
- Players cannot buy jewels they cannot pay, as well as they cannot buy jewels not available in the bazaar
- Players must buy at least one jewel each round, but they are not obliged to sell (unless they do not have enough money to buy)
- Players cannot buy and sell same jewel type in the same round
