📖 About This Game

You are a skilled carpet weaver in the bustling Persian market city of Tabriz, and your goal is to become the best known master of your craft. You accomplish this through savvy acquisitions from the market row and tactical completion of commoner, merchant, and royal commissions. The heart of Tabriz: The Card Game is the commission grid, an irregularly shaped series of resource requirement cards that form commissions in columns and rows. Complete a commission by dedicating the necessary resources for an entire column or row, removing those requirements from the grid and changing all other commissions at the same time. Commissions are defined by their length: 3 cards is a common commission 4 cards is a merchant commission 5 cards is a royal commission Complete commissions with more cards for better rewards, including more coins and higher prestige. Merchant and royal commissions also earn you permanent abilities that contribute to your game engine. On your turn, take two actions. Actions include buying a material card from the market row, trading a material card you have for one in the market row, purging the market row, or taking five coins from the supply. At the end of each turn, if you have the necessary materials, you may complete one commission on the grid, and by claiming this commission card, you change the grid for future turns. Earn the most prestige by the time the commission deck runs out, and you become the master weaver of Tabriz!
