A two-player trading duel set in the same African marketplace world as Jambo, from designer Rüdiger Dorn. You buy and sell goods like furs, silk, tea and salt to earn the most money, using special-ability characters for clever deals and even loosing animals to sabotage your opponent's stall. Fifteen holy sites offer extra powers.
Who it's for
Couples and pairs who want a meaty, interactive two-player trading game with room for tactical meanness.
Not for you if…
You mainly game in bigger groups, since this is strictly two-player, or you dislike direct sabotage from your opponent.
Vibe's take
Tight and combative, a back-and-forth of clever deals and small sabotages where you and one opponent constantly parry.
