Marrakech

Outwit, outplace, and out-earn your rivals in the bustling Moroccan bazaar.

Step into the vibrant carpet market of Marrakech, where each player becomes a savvy rug merchant vying for profit and prestige. Marrakech invites you to place richly colored carpets, maneuver the trader Assam with strategic direction, and tactically disrupt your opponents’ territories. With a mix of clever placement and push-your-luck dice rolls, every move can lead to fortune—or financial loss. Will you build the most visible empire and claim victory?

This fast-paced family board game is easy to learn but full of tactical decision-making. On your turn, you rotate and roll Assam, navigate the carpet maze, and place your rug on the board. Landing on a rival’s carpet costs you coins, while uncovered squares earn end-game points—blending area control, risk management, and positional strategy seamlessly. Ideal for family game nights or as a lively filler between heavier titles, Marrakech keeps everyone on their toes.
