Step into the vibrant world of trade with the Samarkand Bazaar, a board game from Eagle-Gryphon Games. This is a fantastic addition to your collection of fun board games! This dynamic game offers an immersive experience that stands out as one of the best strategy board games available.

Samarkand Bazaar is three fun board games in one! You can engage in the Bazaar, where players trade goods and seek the best deals; explore the scenic routes in Samarkand, where strategic movements lead to victory; or dive into Samarkand Market (Business) to hone your trading skills and outwit opponents.

This rich and diverse gameplay makes it one of the top board games on the market, ensuring endless enjoyment for both casual and seasoned gamers alike. Gather your friends and family to embark on a trading adventure that promises excitement, strategy, and hours of fun!




In Bazaar, players attempt to gain the right combinations of goods through skillful trading; then purchasing the wares displayed in the Bazaar. The number of goods left over determines the points awarded by the various wares following the transaction, so efficiency is critical.

When trading, players are confined by the current rates posted at the
Exchange, which change in every game. After all wares from two stalls have been completely sold out, the Bazaar closes, and the player with the highest score wins!







Samarkand is a fast-paced trading and selling game set in exotic Asia Minor. Cunning Merchants acquire, exchange and sell goods to acquire wealth. Upon visiting Nomad Camps, after offering gifts for their hosts’ hospitality, Merchants trade for the goods they desire. When
they enter Oases, they are able to purchase random goods.

Ultimately, these Merchants travel to the bazaars in Cities such as Samarkand or Isfahan to sell the goods they have acquired. The Merchants must learn which desert paths to use to travel amongst the Nomad Camps, Oases, and
Cities to plan their trips efficiently and earn the fastest (and greatest) profit!







Samarkand Market is based on Sid Sackson’s game Business (1998).

Each round, groups (Lots) of colored cubes are auctioned off, with players simultaneously bidding to determine in what order they’ll pick their Lots. After cubes have been purchased, players can sell sets of cubes for the values listed on the Market cards. The player with the most money at the end of the game wins!
