Carpets

Each right and left are the carpets on which the co-players sit and collect their stones. The rug of the player that is on the row has another pattern.

Fields of sale

In each case, besides the player's carpets, precious stone combinations of five stones are arranged on four fields of sale, which are considered more to be the first. You get points for each purchase.

Game sequence

Each turn consists of the following phases, which can also be played only in the specified order:

1. Draw or Exchange
2. Buy (optional)
3. Click here

A purchase without having previously drawn or exchanged is not allowed!

Draw

By clicking on the treasure chest you can pull a stone out of the bag.

Joker

If you click on the treasure chest of this picture, you have pulled a joker and you can choose a stone of any color.

Exchange

The exchange table is located in the middle of the board and works in both directions. If you want to swap the stones of a combination on the left side for the one on the right side, you simply drive with the mouse over the desired combination on the right side. The symbol between the stones changes into an arrow indicating the direction of exchange. Now you just click on the stone combination you want to receive and pay from your carpet the stones that are indicated on the opposite side of the exchange table as a counter value.

Here you can exchange a red stone for a yellow, a blue and a green one.

Conversely, it works the same way.

Here you would convert a yellow, a blue and a green stone into a red stone.

Buy

Want to After buy a combination of gemstones for drawing or swapping, you simply click on the desired combination on a field of purchase. The required stones are removed automatically and the points are immediately credited.

Finish the train

If you have made a purchase, the game automatically goes on to the next player. If you don't want to buy anything after pulling or baptizing, you end your train by clicking on the next arrow.

Points

If more stones are placed on the carpet when buying, they remain there and can be used further in the next round.

The number of points you get for a purchase depends on how well the stones were exchanged before. If you have exactly the five stones that are displayed on one of the four shopping fields, you get the most points. The more stones left and remain on the carpet, the less points there are.

In addition, the purchase of precious stone combinations is at least four stones of the same colour contain more lucrative than buying combinations with different stones.

In this example, Nessi got only two points for her purchase: it was a "cheap" combination and she had two stones left (all fields were still occupied).

Six precious stone combinations are stacked on each of the four purchasing fields. If there are still precious stone combinations on all purchasing fields, the cheaper rates apply. If at least one stack is sold completely, the remaining precious stone combinations are worth more and the prices on the right side of the table apply.

You can therefore obtain a maximum of twelve and at least one point per purchase.

Playing

If all 24 precious stone combinations are sold, the game is finished. Victor is who has collected most points.

Solo variant

Bazaar can also be played as a solo variant. The rules are identical to the normal game. Just join the game and start as usual. The goal of the game is to achieve as high a score as possible.
