About the game
Step into the Grand Bazaar of Tabriz and become a legendary master weaver! In Tabriz, you'll build your own action engine using three assistants to navigate the city. The goal is to gather precious materials like silk, camel hair, and natural dyes to weave incredible Persian rugs and, most importantly, fulfill commissions. Each completed rug earns you prestige, and whoever accumulates the most is crowned the undisputed master of the craft. Actions are straightforward: move an assistant to a location and perform the task, which could be buying, trading, or even rolling dice to get what you need. But beware, resources are limited, and the market is dynamic, with prices changing each round. Planning is crucial to optimize your moves and ensure you have the right materials at the right time. As you progress, you gain abilities that allow you to move your assistants further, complete multiple rugs at once, and even attract more valuable commissions. For those who enjoy a deeper experience, the Advanced Workshop Mode adds unique abilities for each weaver. And if you like playing alone, Tabriz offers a robust solo mode with different AI opponents to challenge. It's a game that combines accessible strategy with satisfying progression, perfect for relaxing and exercising your mind.
