Jaipur is a two-player set collection card and trading game. Both players are competing merchants in an Indian city Jaipur, capital of Rajasthan, and striving to be invited to the court of the Maharaja.
Players can collect and exchange goods (gold, diamonds, spices, and leather) from the central marketplace and sell them for rupees. Rewards (bonus tokens) are awarded for players who can do good deals. Players must balance the timing to sell. The larger the set, the higher the payout but if you sell earlier, they payout will be higher too.
On your turn you can either take cards (goods) or sell cards. You can try to block your opponent from certain goods but the hand limit makes this tough.
The game is played in rounds and the best merchant receives a Seal of Excellence. The player who can collect two of them is the winner of the game.
To win the game, you must win at least two rounds.
