Muscling in for the maharaja.
This month, it’s Jaipur - one of the team’s picks for thebest two-player board gamesaround.
March is the month for strengthening our relationships, whether they’re with partners or friends.
Deciding which cards to take will entirely depend on what’s currently in your hand.
Here is where things often get ugly in Jaipur.
Whenever any cards are taken from the market, they’re automatically replaced for the next player’s turn.
Choosing which camel to bet on is the crux of playing Jaipur.
But alas, it’s not quite as simple as that.
When three token types have completely run out, the game ends and the players count their point totals.
The player who gained the most points gets a maharaja token.
When a player has three maharaja tokens to their name, they’re named the winner of Jaipur.
But that certainly isn’t the end.
Jaipur is the kind of game that you’ll want to play over and over again.
The game’s quick pacing and setup certainly doesn’t harm its replayability either.
For a card game that will evoke intimacy and savagery, give Jaipur a go.
