Jaipur's digital implementation is spectacular. There's not much else that can be said. Every part of the package comes together to make it much more accessible and enjoyable than the physical game.

The more you play Jaipur, the better it gets. It’s only around the £15-20 mark, so really it’s a case of whether you have a good reason not to buy it.

First of all this game is gorgeous. It's got great components for a small game and I love the insert in this game. Your actions are so simple - take cards or sell cards - but the gameplay has a ton of depth and it is so much fun.

I really liked this simple card game. It's small, fits in the backpack, and you can actually play it on a plane. I recently went to Dice Tower con and this was one of the games I bought at cool stuff in the back of the convention there. I'm on the way home from a plane and I actually played this on a plane on the trays.
