AntaYagí (2022)

Overview

Welcome to the city of a thousand hats! Where you have the same possibilities of winning great fortunes as of ruining yourself in the attempt. You don't need to look out of the window of your carriage to know that you have arrived at your destination. The bustle of the market and the smell of money is more than enough. You take a quick glance at your saddlebags, where a tail of smelly fish peeks over the edge, and you smile triumphantly, this is yours.

In AntaYagi, players will become ambitious merchants seeking fame and fortune, although in the end only the best bartering master will achieve glory. What are you waiting for, make the most peculiar trades, and sabotage your competitors to become a true merchant?

Each round, every player has three cards in their hand. You choose someone to trade with and select a card. Both players place their cards face up on the table at the same time. If the cards are the same, the trade does not take place. Otherwise, each player takes the other player's card into their own alforja (saddle bag). Special cards can lead to stealing, discarding, or additional conditions.

After swapping, players replenish their hands to three cards. The game continues in turns until someone has collected four (or five if there are more players) goods. That player wins immediately.
