Samarkand Bazaar
In stock at the following stores: Games København, Games Aarhus
Sid Sackson's classics Samarkand & Bazaar are now combined as two games in one box with this new edition of both games.
Samarkand is a quick game of trading and selling set in exotic Asia Minor. Wily merchants buy, barter and sell goods to build their wealth. When they visit nomad camps, and after offering gifts for their hosts' hospitality, the merchants barter for the goods they want. When they visit oases, they can buy random goods. In the end these merchants travel to the bazaars of cities such as Samarkand or Isfahan to sell the goods they have acquired. The merchants must plan which desert trails to use in order to travel efficiently between the nomad camps, the oases and the cities, so that they can make the fastest (and largest) profit.
In Bazaar the players try to get the right combination of coloured dice through skilful trading in order to buy the wares displayed in the Bazaar. The value of the different wares is determined by the number of dice the buyer has left after the transaction. Trading is governed by the current rates shown on the exchange. When the wares from two stalls have been sold out completely, the Bazaar closes and the game ends. The player with the highest score wins.
