What is Jaipur?
Jaipur, a game of trading and tactics, invites you and your partner to step into the shoes of powerful traders in the vibrant Indian city of Jaipur. Designed exclusively for two players, it's a battle of wits, quick decision-making, and strategy that fits perfectly into your date night lineup.
How to Play Jaipur
In Jaipur, each player starts with a hand of cards representing various goods and camels. The core of the game lies in smartly acquiring and selling these goods to earn the most profit. You can choose to take goods from the market or sell goods from your hand for coins, with rarer items like gold and silver fetching higher prices. Remember, cleverly using your camels can give you an edge over your opponent!
How Many Players Can Play
Jaipur is strictly a two-player game, making it a perfect match for couples looking to engage in a fun and competitive challenge.
How Long the Game Lasts
A single round of Jaipur can be played in about 30 minutes, but you might find yourselves drawn into playing best two out of three, turning a quick game into a delightful evening filler.
