The goal is to collect the most wampum, a currency made of shells and beads, by cleverly trading your wares at the right time and in the right village. Some villages will swap your goods for other valuable items, while others will reward you with wampum, which was also adopted by European settlers as a form of currency. With easy-to-learn rules and a playtime of just 45 minutes, Wampum is a fun and engaging game for 2 to 5 players. Designed by Jeffrey D.
