Overview

In Jaipur, two players compete as powerful merchants seeking to become the Maharaja's personal trader. Each turn, you'll either take cards from the market – be it single goods, multiple goods, or even all the camels – or sell goods from your hand. The key is to time your sales wisely; selling larger sets earns bigger bonuses, but delaying too long risks your opponents getting the upper hand.

Managing your hand and weighing the value of immediate gains against long-term strategy is crucial. Camels act as both a trading asset and a liability, influencing your market access. Clever manipulation of the card market and tactical set collection are the paths to accumulating the most seals of excellence and securing your place as the Maharaja's favorite.
