Description

In Taj Mahal, you'll navigate the intricate world of 18th century Northwest India, where the Grand Moguls' rule is fading and princes are vying for control. By building magnificent palaces, securing valuable commodities, and influencing powerful figures, you'll increase your power and gain influence points. The game is a complex dance of auctioning, bidding, and strategy, where you'll need to outmaneuver your opponents to emerge victorious. With its unique blend of auction and route-building mechanics, Taj Mahal challenges you to think critically and make tactical decisions. Over the course of 45 to 90 minutes, you'll engage in a series of auctions, using cards to bid for control of regions and the support of key figures. As you build your network of palaces and commodities, you'll earn points and bonuses for connecting your holdings across the map. Designed by Reiner Knizia, Taj Mahal is a classic game of bluffing and political maneuvering that's easy to learn but challenging to master.
