Merchants of Araby
Players compete to become the wealthiest merchant prince or princess in Araby by building an entourage of merchants and allies, teaching virtues, summoning djinni, and investing in caravans. Each turn allows actions such as playing cards, assigning merchants, starting caravans, and negotiating with opponents, in any order and as often as permitted. After four rounds, representing the seasons of a year, the player with the most coins wins.
