Description Description
Bid, haggle, and trade your way to the top in this raucous trading game of set collection and player negotiation for 2 to 6 players.

Acquire spices, textiles, livestock and other exotic goods by bidding on caravans from foreign markets across the ancient world. Manipulate the market – and each other – using your shrewd bargaining skills to trade with your fellow merchants and collect resource sets to maximize profits.

The game is played in a series of rounds based on the number of players. Each round consists of four phases during which players will take turns bidding on caravans, influence, and customers; collecting goods from caravans; trading and negotiating with each other to collect sets of goods; and selling their goods for maximum profit. Goods are divided into 5 categories, with 5 different items in each category. Players can see which categories of goods their opponents are holding by the symbols on the backs of the cards, but do not know the specific item the cards represent in those categories.

This isn't your typical trading game and player interaction can get raucous and intense as players get creative with their haggling! The player with the highest value of talent coins at the end of the game wins. The marketplace is dynamic and ever-changing. You will need to stay sharp and engaged to amass the most wealth and become the greatest merchant in Hafid’s Grand Bazaar!

This is one of those games that will go out of print quickly and you will regret not having picked it up. The theme and the art are feel good cartoony (in keeping with the spirit of the game) and the auction/bidding/negotiation aspect is unique unto itself. If you like lots of interaction, set collection, negotiation and for it all to play in about an hour with four...then look no further. A very pleasant surprise and a wonderful introductory game for those curious about trading/negotiation games. Well done Mr. Richie. Currently on sale at MM for $16 (3/23/2019)

PAX Unplugged: Really enjoyed this game. It is definitely on my radar as a possible buy. I enjoyed the challenge of making the best out of the trades through negotiations and market selection.

First play got screwed up, as I forgot about the hand limit for the game between rounds. This ended up breaking the economy =) But we could see the potential. Second game was great. LOTS of trading, and being able to give access to your salesman is a fascinating aspect, as is the asymmetrical negotiation (if not everyone goes there). Set collection is fairly intuitive, and people get quite adept at wheeling and dealing. The informant and free trader spaces also add some variety. As with all negotiation games, you need the right group, but it was fun with this group.
