Players are merchants with small shops in Cairo. Let's get customers and earn money.
If you use the money you earned to make the store bigger, you get a winning point. It is a game aiming at having a big store.
Players become traders and open stalls in Cairo's bazaar (which seems to be world-famous).
There are six types of stalls (six colors), but only one color stall can be placed in each section of the nine divided market.
Each stall may expand to occupy more than one area, so if you don't move your stall, you may not be able to find your stall anywhere!
Also, the purple stall is a food stand, so you can only open a stall in the permitted restaurant area.
With the exception of initial placement, it is up to your hand to decide which area you can open a stall during play.
Most cards correspond to one of nine partitions, and you can play the card to open a stall in that partition.
There is also a strong card for three partitions, but you have to pay a fee instead.
If you play three cards, you can open a stall anywhere, but the cards are also a precious resource, so you can't abuse them.
The location of the stall is very important, but you can move the small stall to another location before it expands.
Once you have a stall on the board, you can connect the expansion tiles to the stall and make the stall bigger.
Every time you expand your store, it becomes a topic of conversation in Cairo and you gain a reputation (winning point).
If it is the biggest street stall in that color, you can get a gold and silver medal (if it is the largest Thailand, you will get only a silver medal) and you will get an additional winning point.
But the bigger the stall, the more expensive it is, so you have to watch the other players' moves and see how big it is efficiently.
There are also six colors of coins, and basically you pay for the same color of coins, but if it is impossible, you can make a coin of that color with 2 arbitrary coins.
If you open a stall and make it big enough, it's time to attract customers and make a profit!
Each color stall corresponds to a customer piece of the same color that is looking for a product in the stall.
Customers walk around the board from their current location and enter the nearest matching color stall, so if that is their own stall, of course they can make a lot of money.
You can earn money according to the size of the stall.
If it is a street stall of another player, that player gets income, but you can also get only 1 gold for the hand-number player.
Once a piece is purchased, it is temporarily satisfied and leaves the board, and then the piece returns to the same place.
If you want to lead a colored customer piece to your stall, but there is another player's stall nearby, move the customer piece before the player expands the stall and get a fee.
Next time you come back from outside the board, you will be led to come closer to your stall.
There seems to be quite a long-term strategy here.
There is also a card called Kyakubiki, which allows you to ignore a nearby stall for each card.
The game ends when the conditions are met as the street stalls expand. Get the final score from the gold and silver medal you have and the money you have, and the player with the most score wins!
The rules are really simple, and the only game is to draw the card to decide the location of the stall and the place to expand!
Each move has a big meaning, so you can enjoy the more the number of players increases.
