About the game

What you do in a play session

In *Trade on the Tigris*, you’re a Mesopotamian city thriving along the Tigris River. The game blends negotiation, resource collection, and a dash of cultural influence—all in 5 dynamic rounds. Your strategy ranges from picking the right cards in the draft to making savvy trades (or sabotaging rivals). But beware: every interaction might shift your religion or government, changing your in-game abilities. The player who scores the most points through resource sets and developments wins. It’s a game that rewards both planning and smooth-talking at the bargaining table. Pro tip: never underestimate the power of a good trade... or a well-timed bluff!
