What this is
In Jaipur, players trade and sell goods to become the most wealthy merchant in this short game for two. Players can't sell camels, but they're paramount for trading and they're also worth a little something at the end of the round, enough sometimes to secure the win, so they have to use them smartly. If they take cards, they have to choose between taking all the camels, taking 1 card from the market or swapping 2 to 5 cards between the market and their cards.
