About the game
In The Bazaars of Ubar, you’re a shrewd merchant navigating the mythical markets of Ubar, the Atlantis of the Sands! This game blends engine-building with economic strategy, where you draft trade tiles from a common area, paying with time — yes, time is money here. Each tile you pick can be activated multiple times using trade winds, so plan carefully where to place them on your board. Your ship’s space is limited, so choose wisely which goods to take to the floating bazaars, where values fluctuate every game. Victory goes to the player who accumulates the most gold by selling their goods. Get ready for an engaging experience where every decision matters!
