“Merchants of Babylon” is the opportunity that you were waiting to became rich, though in a imaginarious way. You’ll have to manage your hand of cards to optimize the plays and take more gold points that anybody.
In its UNO part, you can gain gold playing cards that have a characteristic in common with the last played card in the game pile. In its Poker part, you’ll have to keep the hand you need to obtain the market cards and combo cards that are over the table.
In a game, the players’ frenzy makes that you shouldn’t to get sidetracked even a second, unless you wan’t to win, because your perfect plan to get the 10 points card can be ruined if other player catchs this card before you.
Besides, it is far easier to assimilate than lots of trick-taking games (you’ll play with fabrics, pottery and weapons, from Persia, Assiria, Egypt and Greece), but it doesn’t make less defiant, to overcome the rest of player you must be aware.
Will you be able to reach the financial freedom before anybody?
