I always see this game recommended and have skipped it since because it is just for 2 players. After just reading the rules, I already know it will be a hit with my girlfriend, and fortunately it was! She really liked it even during our 1st play. Now that I tried it, well, it’s still sad that it is just for 2 players, but this game is fun!Pros- Easy to learn and teach.- Fast to setup and play (less than 30 minutes).- Doesn’t require a huge table.- Replayable because of the competition among players.- Not multiplayer solitaire. The competition among players makes everyone adapt constantly to make the most out of the current state of the board and always be one step ahead of the opponents. You should always keep an eye to your plans and your opponent’s plans.- The game design is brilliantly simple! The rules here are so simple yet very strategic and tactical (though more on tactical).- There is something in this game that makes it very fun and exciting to play. Yes it’s simple, yes it’s a theme that is overly done already, but there is something in its design that makes it very fun and exciting.- This is a race. The race creates tension, in an exciting way. Everytime a new card is flipped, it is exciting. Whether you were first to sell or not, it is still fun.Cons- This is an unfair criticism of the game. But it’s just sad that this game can only be played between 2 players. I know that it is by design, but this game is just so fun not to share with more players. Although I was actually thinking that this game can be played with 3 players, but definitely not with 4 (or maybe you could combine 2 copies and also increase the market display size).

The game lives up to its expectations as one of the best 2 player card games. Compact and easy to learn, Jaipur is the ideal game for a quick couples challenge.

Jaipur is one of my favorite quick games. It’s dead simple to learn and play, but there’s still lots of decision making and strategy that keeps it from getting old. The art is great, the components are solid, and it packs up small (even smaller if you take it out of the box and use one of the apps out there that will count your goods sales, though I myself am a fan of the tokens). Super fun 2-player game. I’m considering getting a second copy so we can try it as a 4-player game with a few tweaks, but if you’re looking for the perfect game for a pair this is it.

A two person game that’s good for couples. It’s easy to play but requires strategy and planning. We’ve enjoyed this game.

Kids and adults enjoy this game. The only thing time consuming about this game is putting all the coins back together but other than that its an easy game for kids of all age and adults and very enjoyable game. The cards and coins are of good quality.

Fast paced, played over 2-3 rounds, good strategy and replayability. Definitely would recommend!

This is a really fun game involving selling goods and trading camels/goods to make valuable matches to sell. It’s not hard to play, although the directions are not as easy as they could be to understand. It’s totally worth taking the time to figure them out. Once you start realizing the importance of camel trading the fun and challenge of the game really comes alive and me and my brother wanted to play it over and over as we each figured out different little strategies.One thing that’s unique about this game over a lot of card matching/trading games is that in addition to a secret hand, you get camel cards which you play visibly out in front of you as your herd. The public market consists of 5 cards from the deck which can be either goods and/or camels. One of your options on your turn is to take all of the camels from the market to add to your herd. Another is to take a single good from the market. Or you can trade any number of camels and/or goods in your hands for ones in the market. And lastly, you can sell goods. You can get bonuses for selling multiple goods at a time. But if you wait too long to sell goods, some prices will decrease over time as they become more commonplace.

I love this game! I’m not good at teaching myself games, but managed to learn this one with the help of a friend, a video I found on YouTube, and the instructions. Once I had it down it was easy to teach others. I was specifically looking to increase the two-player games I had on hand and this is a great one!
