PRIVATE MOON STUDIOS Caravanserai board game

Product description
Caravanserai is a fun trading and resource management game that can be recommended for families: its rules are easy to learn, the role of luck is not significant, but it can mitigate the disadvantage of beginners, and it also poses a strong challenge on the strategic and tactical side, so the more skilled players are guaranteed to finish ahead on the scoring track.
The Caravanserai is a closed area, local merchants are not allowed to enter from outside, even though they would be happy to buy the fabulous portéka delivered by the caravans! This is used by the sharp-eyed horsemen serving there (the players), who have access to the walls. They do business with the resting caravans in secret, at their own expense, and then resell the acquired goods with some profit.
The players try to get and fulfill as many orders as possible by making clever use of their modest starting opportunities. Sometimes they need to take out a loan to carry out the actions, so they have to pay attention to its repayment. Whoever collects 32 dirhems the fastest will trigger the final round of the game, but the winner will be the one with the most wealth in the end.
Everyone has two optional actions per turn, and each action must be preceded by movement. Each field has an action: they can take out a loan at the money exchange, buy, sell and exchange precious metals and gems at the stands or pavilions, but they can also do business directly with travelers resting. However, there is a special fountain in the middle of the courtyard that turns during certain actions, and this can affect the player's income!
