Description

Imagine yourself as a skilled carpet weaver in the bustling Persian market city of Tabriz, where your goal is to become the most renowned master of your craft. In Tabriz: The Card Game, you'll achieve this by making savvy acquisitions from the market row and completing commoner, merchant, and royal commissions. The game is designed by Randy Flynn and can be played by 2 to 5 players, making it a great option for small to medium-sized groups. With a playtime of 30 to 45 minutes, you can easily fit in a game or two in one sitting. The heart of the game is the commission grid, an irregularly shaped series of resource requirement cards that form commissions in columns and rows. You'll complete a commission by dedicating the necessary resources for an entire column or row, removing those requirements from the grid and changing all other commissions at the same time. The longer the commission, the better the rewards, including more coins and higher prestige. For example, completing a 5-card royal commission will earn you more prestige and a permanent ability that contributes to your game engine. On your turn, you'll take two actions, such as buying a material card from the market row, trading a material card, or purging the market row. If you have the necessary materials, you can complete a commission on the grid, claiming the commission card and changing the grid for future turns. As you navigate the game, you'll need to balance your hand management, market manipulation, and pattern building skills to earn the most prestige. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, Tabriz: The Card Game is easy to learn, but challenging to master. As the commission deck runs out, the player with the most prestige will be crowned the master weaver of Tabriz. Will you be able to outmaneuver your opponents and become the ultimate champion of the Persian market? With its unique blend of abstract strategy, economic management, and puzzle-solving, Tabriz: The Card Game is a thrilling experience that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
