Description

Playing as a local stable boy who works in the Caravanserai, you have the privilege of being allowed into the restricted inner courtyard. This opens up a unique opportunity for you to make some money by doing your own business with the travellers, and acquiring the merchandise much sought after by local traders outside, who have no access to the area. Your starting resources are modest and you should use them wisely. Sometimes you will need to borrow money to carry out your actions, but supplying the local traders with the goods they want, you should earn enough to invest more, in addition to paying off your debt. The first player to accumulate 32 dirhams triggers the final round of the game, but the player with the most savings wins. You have two optional actions per turn, and each must be preceded by a mandatory move along the courtyard path. A move can cover 1-3 spaces, and once in a turn you can chose to roll in the hope of making a longer move – but never longer than what you have rolled. Each space offers an action: you can borrow money from the money changers; buy, sell or exchange goods at the pavilions and merchants stalls; or trade goods directly with the travellers. However, there is a unique fountain in the centre of the courtyard, which rotates each time when certain transactions are made, and this can affect your income! The local traders will give you minor or major orders for the goods they need; completing these orders will not only earn you money, but also help you pay off your debts, increase your savings and obtain ability cards that will give you additional benefits during or at the end of the game. It is worth completing as many major orders as you can, as the order cards are collectible and the sets are worth additional points. Caravanserai is an easy-to-learn trading and resource management game that is fun for the whole family. It involves sufficient luck factor to help beginners catch up, but it is also a fairly strong strategic and tactical challenge.
