Jaipur is a two-player card game created by Sébastien Pauchon in 2009 and published by Asmodee. Players assume the roles of powerful merchants in Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan. The aim is to receive two "seals of excellence" and be invited to the court of the Maharaja. The game focuses on buying, exchanging, and selling at better prices, all while keeping an eye on both your camel herds.

Gameplay

Each turn, a player chooses between acquiring new goods from the market by using "tokens representing money", or selling goods in exchange for tokens.[1] Selling a larger batch of goods earns a bonus.[1]

Reception

Overall, the board game has received favorable reviews, many acknowledging its simplicity, yet sufficient depth. Shut Up & Sit Down have suggested that "great game for seasoned vets but also something you could easily introduce to people who don’t play a lot"[2] whereas iSlayTheDragon said "Jaipur is a blast to play". Board Game Land has suggested that the game was "one of the top card games for couples".[3] Jaipur has continued to be a popular game with recommendations into 2020[4][5] as well as being part of the Mind Sports Olympiad 2020 competition.[6]
