Jaipur
As one of the two most powerful traders in the city of Rajasthan, you must trade, sell, and barter your way to the top of the marketplace. Jaipur is a fast paced two-player card game from Gameworks that requires quick thinking, luck, and patience. On any player’s turn, it’s their decision to take or sell cards. Taking cards involves choosing between camels, cards from market, and swapping cards between your hand and market. If players choose to sell, they sell only one type of good per turn and they can get any amount of chips possible from that. The player with the most chips at the end of the game wins.

With an abundance of random scenarios and game variations, it’s a beautiful and memorable game with a lot of replayability.
