Description

In Byzanz, you're a merchant looking to make the most profit from the markets in the city. The game is easy to learn, and with 3 to 6 players, it's a great way to spend 45 minutes with friends. You'll bid on offers from the market to collect sets of 3 cards of the same good, trying to find the right moment to sell your collected wares. As you play, you'll use cards as both money for bidding and points for scoring. The game ends when all cards have been auctioned, and the player with the highest total of good cards wins. With a mix of auctioning, hand management, and set collection, Byzanz is a fun and engaging economic card game that's language independent, making it accessible to everyone.
