Description

In Wampum, you'll take on the role of a merchant in the colonial U.S., trading goods like maize, tobacco, and animal pelts with Native American villages. 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. Allers and published in 2010, this game combines auction, hand management, and trading mechanics to create a thrilling experience. As you navigate the world of colonial trade, you'll need to make strategic decisions to come out on top and collect the most wampum, making Wampum a great choice for anyone looking for a exciting and interactive game.
