How it works: Casting you as one of two traders in the eponymous city of Jaipur, your challenge is to earn an invite to the maharaja's court by being the best businessperson in all the land. How you do that is up to you though, and there's plenty of room to experiment. Remarque: la dernière version de la liste des jeux disponibles est accessible ici: https://boardgamearena.com/gamelist

It's not a good fit for children as a result, and won't jive with family-members who are expecting something very casual either. This leaves you with a difficult choice: research a cure by collecting cards (at which point the game stops placing infections for that particular disease), or remove infections at a local level so you can keep things under control.
