Description

There are a couple of multiplayer games that fit a similar bill to Jaipur, too: Splendor and Century: Spice Road. To collect new goods, you can either pick up one card for free, take multiple cards (but you must replace these with cards from your hand) or scoop up any and all camels on the market. Please note that the current version has a box that looks a little different to our photo above, but the game remains the same. This simple but satisfying blend makes Jaipur 2nd Edition a highly accessible choice – I have played it with a wide range of family and friends. How it’s played: Your task in 7 Wonders Duel is to create a more magnificent civilization than your opponent—something you accomplish by building wonders like the Pyramids, the Hanging Gardens, and the Colossus.

But if you like those games and are looking for a new take on that style, Radlands is a good option. Each turn, a player chooses between acquiring new goods from the market by using "tokens representing money", or selling goods in exchange for tokens.Thus trying to collect five cards of the same type requires you to commit a large portion of your hand to collecting that good.

You can hurriedly skim the most points-scoring tokens off the top of the market, or save up for one huge turn that’ll bag you a valuable bonus.Flaws but not dealbreakers: This game is probably the most intimidating of our picks—at least for tabletop gaming novices—due to its various win conditions and the amount of things to monitor and manage. While I think the game should have increased the hand size by one or two cards, I actually liked the hand limit which is surprising since I am usually not a fan of hand limits. If they take the camel cards you will get a whole new market of cards to choose from which you can take the best cards from before the other player even gets a chance at them.

So, although you don’t always want your opponent to be 'cameled up', it can be a good way to tempt them into refreshing the market for you. But this is a) a minor issue when a game only takes about 10 minutes, and b) not the way everyone will choose to play anyway.Some board gamers like to have a lot of crunch to their games, either in terms of strategic depth or simulation.

Cut your losses – If you are holding out for a bonus but your opponent also starts taking an interest in the same good as you, consider selling early, especially if high value, rare cards are as stake. My personal belief regarding board games is that a good board game never makes itself more complicated than it needs to be. If a player chooses to take several goods from the marketplace, they can take as many as they like, but they must replace them with the same number of cards from their possession. Jaipur may be a little overrated due to its reliance on luck, but it is still a great game that fans of set collecting games should really enjoy. At its core Jaipur may seem like your typical set collecting game as it does share a lot in common with your typical game from the genre.

Higher value can be relative, though: Every odd-numbered card modifies the game slightly, giving you powers such as switching out the trump suit or forcing the other player to play a certain card. And since it’s a competitive game with a slice of luck, you better pick someone who won’t mind losing – and you won’t mind losing to – as an opponent.
