Jaipur

I always see this game recommended and have skipped it since because it is just for 2 players. After just reading the rules, I already know it will be a hit with my girlfriend, and fortunately it was! She really liked it even during our 1st play. Now that I tried it, well, it's still sad that it is just for 2 players, but this game is fun!Pros- Easy to learn and teach.- Fast to setup and play (less than 30 minutes).- Doesn't require a huge table.- Replayable because of the competition among players.- Not multiplayer solitaire. The competition among players makes everyone adapt constantly to make the most out of the current state of the board and always be one step ahead of the opponents. You should always keep an eye to your plans and your opponent's plans.- The game design is brilliantly simple! The rules here are so simple yet very strategic and tactical (though more on tactical).- There is something in this game that makes it very fun and exciting to play. Yes it's simple, yes it's a theme that is overly done already, but there is something in its design that makes it very fun and exciting.- This is a race. The race creates tension, in an exciting way. Everytime a new card is flipped, it is exciting. Whether you were first to sell or not, it is still fun.Cons- This is an unfair criticism of the game. But it's just sad that this game can only be played between 2 players. I know that it is by design, but this game is just so fun not to share with more players. Although I was actually thinking that this game can be played with 3 players, but definitely not with 4 (or maybe you could combine 2 copies and also increase the market display size).

This game is a ton of fun. Easy 2 person game, with a fast paced gameplay that can serve as a warmup for more dense titles. Great for beginners in the hobby and that is super affordable.

My husband and I love this game. The quality of the cards and tokens is quite nice.We’re always looking for 2 player card games as our kids are still quite young and this one is among our favorites. It is fairly fast to learn which is great because I don’t have much patience for learning new games. It is also fairly short (about 30 mins) depending on how many rounds you want to play.The mechanics feel a little similar to the game splendor but it is different enough that it still feels like an entirely different game.I have bought it for friends in the past and would trying it!

one of the best 2 person games out there! Quick, easy, strategy based with a bit of luck as well.

Jaipur is one of my favorite quick games. It's dead simple to learn and play, but there's still lots of decision making and strategy that keeps it from getting old. The art is great, the components are solid, and it packs up small (even smaller if you take it out of the box and use one of the apps out there that will count your goods sales, though I myself am a fan of the tokens). Super fun 2-player game. I'm considering getting a second copy so we can try it as a 4-player game with a few tweaks, but if you're looking for the perfect game for a pair this is it.

A great game for 2 players. Engaging and fast paced!The box & packaging were dusty.

My family was at first not excited to try out yet another game, but from the very first game, we all got addicted. My 5yo loves it (and beats me all the time), my 12yo loves it, and we adults love it.It's easy enough to learn and remember when getting back to it! it's a quick game so not a big commitment and strategic enough to not be boring but also so we can play it when tired out at the end of the day. The only thing is tedious is setting it up - but to be honest, it just takes a few minutes; it just feels a bit tedious. I would and probably will buy this as a gift for anyone for a while now!

This is a great card game. There are hard cardboard disks (coins) in the game, but mostly it's cards you're dealing with. It's a lot of fun for my husband and I. We're senior citizens and try to buy an award-winning or highly recommended game by You Tubers once a year, usually during winter when we're more confined to the house. This Jaipur is very easy to learn. Even so, we usually watch about five You Tube videos on how to play any game we buy. The play time for Jaipur is about 30 minutes or less. It's got a lot of variability in the play because of the luck of the cards you draw, but it's a little more about strategy than the luck of the draw, so that keeps it challenging for adults. I imagine kids would find this fun, too, because it involves having a herd of camels, buying diamonds, and stuff like that. Anyway, I'm glad we have this in our collection, and I can recommend it for anyone.
