Description
 
Through skillful trading and re-trading, each player attempts to gain the right combination of colored stones from the Bank to purchase the wares displayed in the Bazaar. Values of the various wares are determined by the number of stones the purchaser holds following his transaction. Trading is governed by the current rates posted at the Exchange. When all the wares from two of the stalls have been sold, the Bazaar is closed, the game ends and the player with the highest score wins! This game is great fun for all ages, and will keep you coming back time and time again!

5 of 5 A Sid Sackson classic gets a brand new edition June 19, 2012
Reviewer: EndersGame from BGG  
Sid Sackson is one of the most respected game designers to have emerged in the late 20th century.  His game Bazaar first appeared in 1967, and is a popular design that has been out of print for some time. This brand new edition has a new look worthy of its respected status.

Players get coloured glass stones, trading them according to the rates of exchange listed on two exchange cards, trying to get combinations to match one of the face up ware cards. The fewer stones you have left over after cashing them in for such a card, the more points you earn.  Rewarding efficient trading is a simple concept that makes the game easy to learn, and works well with people of all ages, including children, yet remains a pleasant challenge for adults as well.

Bazaar is an elegant and beautiful that has stood the test of time, and has potential to appeal to almost everyone.  This fresh new edition does a wonderful job of bringing a beautiful game to today's audiences.
