Become the most successful trader in Jaipur! 🐪💰
Welcome to Jaipur, the fast-paced 2-player trading game designed by Sébastien Pauchon and published by Space Cowboys / Asmodee.
Buy, trade and sell goods to earn the richest profits in the Bazaar of Jaipur.
🎯 Jaipur is a two-player card game of set collection and trading that plays in about 30 minutes.
Compete to become the Maharaja’s personal trader by earning more rupees than your opponent over two rounds.
1️⃣ Setup:
- Shuffle the deck of goods and camel cards.
- Deal 5 cards to each player.
- Place 3 camels in the market and two more random cards from the deck (face up).
- Create token stacks for each type of good (Diamonds, Gold, Silver, Cloth, Spice, Leather).
- Set Bonus Tokens (3+, 4+, 5+) nearby.
2️⃣ On Your Turn: Choose one action:
- 🛍️ Take Cards: Take one goods card, take all camels, or exchange cards with your herd/hand.
- 💰 Sell Goods: Choose one type of good and sell any number of those cards.
Gain tokens for that good (type and quantity matter).
Selling 3+, 4+, 5+ cards gives you a Bonus Token.
3️⃣ Camels:
Keep camels in front of you (face up).
They can be used to trade multiple cards at once and are worth extra points for the largest herd at the end of each round.
4️⃣ End of Round:
The round ends when three token stacks are empty.
Count total rupees (value of tokens + bonuses + camel herd bonus).
The winner gets a Seal of Excellence.
The first player to earn two Seals wins the game!
💡 Tips & Strategy
- Take camels early – they give flexibility for future trades.
- Don’t rush expensive goods (Diamonds, Gold, Silver); sell them in bigger sets.
- Keep track of what your opponent collects — you can block their big sale.
- Sometimes discarding low-value goods opens a better market.
Jaipur is simple to learn and deep to master — a perfect blend of luck, timing and tactics.
Fast, competitive, and absolutely addictive for two players everywhere! 🐪✨
