What it is

We think this is the best twenty-minute two-player card game. You draft goods, sell early for bonus tokens, hoard camels for the big exchange, and try to win two rounds out of three. One game is short enough that dealing another is an easy call.

What we love

  • A single rules sheet gets you playing
  • The decision of sell now or hold is sharp every single turn
  • Replays well across many sessions without feeling solved

Honest trade-offs

  • Two players only; it will not stretch to three
  • Card draw luck can tilt a single round, which is why it is best of three
