Merchants of Araby*

Become the wealthiest trading prince or princess in all of Arabia by building a retinue of merchants and allies, teaching virtues, summoning djinns, negotiating frequently, and making successful caravan investments. Players perform actions during their turn, such as playing cards, commissioning merchants, launching caravans, and negotiating with opponents, allowing for multiple actions in any order.

Caravan cards are the main source of earning coins and negotiating in the game. Each product slot on a caravan card can contain a camel token representing a specific product generated for the caravan. Negotiation is key as everything is tradeable; players can exchange resources in countless ways. The game ends after the fourth round, with the player having the most coins declared the winner.
