You are an Indian merchant. You are poor, but with your keen business sense and your trusty elephant sidekick, you're sure you won't be poor for long!
[blue]You may even become the wealthiest merchant in India![/blue]
[green][tip] This tutorial is best viewed on a computer![/green]1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
NekonyancerIn [blue]*Bombay*[/blue], players will buy *silks* from trading posts and sell them in cities to make a profit. While they're at it, they will collect various tokens to earn endgame bonuses.
[red]*After 16 rounds, the wealthiest merchant wins!*[/red]2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
NekonyancerAt the start of the game, one player will receive four starred discs. She will be the *first player* for the next few rounds, and she will place one of these tiles on the board every time her turn comes around.3player_board_85332445000stock_action_85332445_item_1 12
NekonyancerAs you can see down here, there are *[blue]16 slots[/blue]* for these discs, forming a handy timeline.
[green][tip] Basically, the track shows the current round (out of 16). Whoever has some of these discs in their inventory is the first player.[/green]4stock-action-global-1000stock-action-global-1 7 stock-action-global-2 7 stock-action-global-3 7 stock-action-global-4 7
NekonyancerEach disc has *three stars* on it, symbolizing the *three action points* each player gets per turn.
With these action points, you can:
*- Move along a path.*
*- Build a palace.*
*- Buy silk from a trading post.*
*- Sell silk at a city.*5archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
NekonyancerEveryone's elephants start on [blue]this central hill.[/blue] It costs one action to move along a path.
Let's try it!
*Click on the hand to move along the path!*1elephant_grey624c908fd99a210elephant_grey 7 slot_16 16
NekonyancerGreat! Moving consumed one action. We have two more.
Let's move again!
*Click on the hand to move!*1board624c90933ebae10slot_18 16
NekonyancerGood job.
It looks like our opponent is already here, but that's fine. Plenty of room on the road for everyone.
This location is a *trading post.* We can buy silk at these posts!1elephant_pink624c9094ddee800
NekonyancerAs you can see, there are many trading posts strewn across the board, but many of them are empty because this is a *2-player game*.
[blue]The four that are in operation this game are indicated by blue arrows.[/blue]2board624c9094ddee800bar_1 11 bar_3 11 bar_6 11 bar_7 11
Nekonyancer*Each trading post sells only one color of silk,* shown by a token next to it.
For example, the post our elephant is at sells blue silk.
[img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/https___snipboard.io_Tzr4JQ.jpg[/img]3bar_6624c9094ddee800bar_6 1
NekonyancerThe costs of the various silks are determined by *the market*, up here. There are three different categories.
The arrow is pointing to the first category. Bales of silk in this category cost 1 action (shown by 1 star) and 1 rupee (shown by 1 coin). [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/https___snipboard.io_DScRlr.jpg[/img]
Looks like blue silk is on sale today!4cube_market_1_8624c9094ddee800cube_market_1_4 12
NekonyancerThis is the second category. Bales of silk here cost *2 actions* and *1 rupee* each.
The third category, which is currently empty, charges *2 actions* and *2 rupees* per bale.5cube_market_2_8624c9094ddee800cube_market_2_4 12
NekonyancerOur elephant is at the [blue]blue silk trading post[/blue], so we can buy blue silk from the market, which will cost 1 action and 1 rupee each.
That's fortunate because we only have 1 action left!6elephant_grey624c9094ddee800
NekonyancerWe started with 2 rupees, [red]shown here[/red], so we have enough to buy silk.
*Go ahead and click "buy" at the top!*7player_board_rupees_value_11941354624c9094ddee810player_board_content_11941354 6
Nekonyancer[red]It's our opponent's turn[/red], and she just bought a second bale of silk.
[tip] Each elephant can hold two bales.
That was the last blue bale in the market! To show this, the token showing the color of the trading post has flipped over to display a red X.
[img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/https___snipboard.io_NOwWRk.jpg[/img]1elephant_pink624c909a371d800bar_6 11
NekonyancerShe used one of those bales of silk and an action to place a *palace* here.
Each player can place a maximum of 5 palaces throughout the game. Right now, [blue]you can see yours in your inventory.[/blue]2elephant_pink624c90ab850a300token_palace_11 11 player_board_content_11941354 7
Nekonyancer*[blue]Palaces do three things:[/blue]*
*1.* They let you pick up a palace token from that spot, if there was a token.
*2.* Any time an opponent travels onto one, the palace's owner gets 1 rupee from the bank.
*3.* They contribute to an endgame bonus. (More on this later.)3elephant_pink624c90ab850a300
Nekonyancer[blue]*Time for our next turn.*[/blue] We can't buy any more blue silk, unfortunately, but it looks like we can sell it before our opponent can.
Here's how selling silk works:4elephant_grey624c90ab850a300
NekonyancerEach city demands *3* of the 4 colors of silk. Their demand levels are shown by a column of cubes. Your profits for selling silk are determined by this demand.
*Top demand level:* 4 rupees.
*Middle:* 3 rupees.
*Bottom:* 1 rupee + 1 customer token.
[green][tip] Customer tokens, together with palaces, contribute to an endgame bonus![/green]5cube_request_4_3624c90ab850a300
NekonyancerAt this city, blue silk is in *high demand*, so we can get 4 rupees for selling it!6cube_request_4_3624c90ab850a300
NekonyancerAdditionally, look at this token! It's a *city token.* Here's a closer look:
[img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/https___snipboard.io_Yz407U.jpg[/img]
Each city has a stack of these available. Since we're in a 2-player game, there's only 1 token in each stack.7cube_request_4_3624c90ab850a300stock_token_town_black_item_1 12
NekonyancerWhen you sell silk to a city, you may take one of the city tokens from its stack if you do not have a token of that color yet.
[green]At the end of the game, any player with *3* differently colored tokens gets *4* points. Any player with *4* of them gets *8* points![/green]10cube_request_4_3624c90ab850a300
NekonyancerThere are also some city tokens spread across the board. You'll have to build *palaces* on them to pick them up!11token_palace_1624c90ab850a300
NekonyancerLet's consider our travel plans. It looks like there are two paths we can take to get to the city.12cube_request_4_3624c90ab850a300
Nekonyancer*This path* will take us through our opponent's [red]palace[/red], so they'll get a rupee for free from the bank. We'll reach the city in two actions and will be able to sell with our third.13cube_request_4_3624c90ab850a300elephant_grey 9 slot_22 10
Nekonyancer*This path* doesn't have any palaces in the way, but it has a *hilltop.*
[img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/https___snipboard.io_kj76Ia.jpg[/img]
Hilltops take *two* actions to travel through instead of *one*. If we take this path, it will take all three of our actions to reach the city, but our opponent won't profit from it.14cube_request_4_3624c90ab850a300bar_6 10 slot_19 9
NekonyancerSince there's only one city token available, it is important that we sell this turn, before our opponent can! Let's take the top path!
*Click to move to your opponent's palace.*15cube_request_4_3624c90ab850a310slot_22 16
Nekonyancer*Next, click on the city!*1slot_23624c90b6d979a10
Nekonyancer*Finally, click [blue]"sell"[/blue] at the top!*1cube_request_4_3624c90bb2c3ef10action_button_selling 7
NekonyancerGreat! [blue]*The city token*[/blue] is now here in our inventory.
We also got 4 rupees for selling, so we have a *[red]total of 5[/red]* now!1stock_token_town_11941354_item_1624c90c1bc00300player_board_rupees_value_11941354 1 stock_token_town_11941354_item_1 2
Nekonyancer*Look! The city's demands changed!* Since we delivered a bale of blue silk, blue's demand has dropped to the bottom, and the other colors rose to take its place!
If our opponent sells blue silk here now, she will only get 1 rupee, 1 customer token, and no city token!
*Snooze, you lose, Jeaneas!*2cube_request_4_3624c90c1bc00300
NekonyancerOne more note about silks.
*Yellow silk* is always worth *1 more rupee* than other silks. If you sold yellow silk at high demand, you'd get 5 rupees instead of 4!
*Purple silk* always grants *1 customer token* when sold. If you sold purple silk at low demand, you'd get 1 rupee and 2 customer tokens!3archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment624c90c1bc00300
NekonyancerNext, let's get our hands on some yellow silk. [blue]*The yellow trading post*[/blue] isn't far!
Unfortunately, our opponent decided her blue silk was better spent setting up [red]*another palace*[/red], blocking our way again!1token_palace_2624c90d6b6e7701bar_7 2 token_palace_12 1
NekonyancerHmm. Which path should we take to reach the [blue]yellow trading post[/blue]? Should we go through the hilltop, or go through our opponent's palace?
Think carefully. Plan out your three actions...2token_palace_2624c90d6b6e7701bar_7 2 package_grey_2 10 elephant_grey 14
NekonyancerRemember that yellow silk is only available in the *second* category of the market, requiring *2 actions and 1 rupee* to buy. If we go through our opponent's palace, saving ourselves an action, we will reach the trading post with only *1* action left, so we won't be able to buy the yellow silk until next turn anyway!3cube_market_2_2624c90d6b6e7700
NekonyancerThat means we should travel through the hilltop this time!
*Click on the hilltop to travel there!*4token_palace_2624c90d6b6e7711slot_19 16
Nekonyancer*And now on the trading post.*1token_palace_2624c90dfbdacc11slot_20 16
NekonyancerAlright. Let's buy a yellow cube. It will take 2 actions and a rupee.
*Click "buy" at the top!*1bar_7624c90f61408a10
Nekonyancer*Use our last action to move to the indicated space.*1token_palace_2624c90fca1b1911token_palace_9 11 slot_16 2
Nekonyancer*[blue]We're now in Round 5![/blue]* This is important for two reasons...1stock-action-global-2_item_1624c9102026ac00stock-action-global-2 7
Nekonyancer1. There are [red]*discs*[/red] in our inventory, showing that we are the first player now.2stock_action_11941354624c9102026ac00stock_action_11941354 6
Nekonyancer2. The Market has been restocked. Just by chance, blues ended up in category 1 again!3cube_market_1_5624c9102026ac00cube_market_1_4 12
NekonyancerLet's build a palace here. Remember, it just takes an action and 1 bale of silk to build. When we do it, we'll get to pick up the [blue]*palace token*[/blue] here!
*Click "build" at the top!*4elephant_grey624c9102026ac10token_palace_9 2
NekonyancerThe palace token we picked up lets us take a bale of silk of the leftmost color in the market, which is blue!
*Click on blue at the top!*1action_button_choice_cube_market_blue624c911478d6810
NekonyancerThere's just one more thing I have to tell you about: *consolidating your fortune.*
When you do that, you simply use all three of your actions for the turn to take 1 rupee from the bank.
It sounds lame, but sometimes there are no better options, [green]so keep it in mind![/green]1elephant_pink624c91180236000
Nekonyancer*Now you've seen everything you need to see!*
Play will continue until the 16th round is finished. The first player will switch and the market will be restocked on rounds *9* and *13*.
At the end, we will evaluate endgame bonuses and determine the winner.2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment624c91180236000
NekonyancerThere are two endgame bonuses.
[red]*1. City tokens.*[/red] Any player with 3 tokens gets 4 rupees. Any player with 4 tokens gets 8 rupees.
[blue]*2. Commercial network.*[/blue] Players add together their *customer tokens* and *played palaces*. Whoever has the highest sum gets 4 rupees in a 2 player game. This is adjusted for 3 and 4 player games.
*Whoever has the most rupees is the winner!*3archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment624c91180236000
