Compete with other influential families in the city to achieve the most honorable titles through the skillful use of assistants and resources at your disposal. The player who succeeds in doing this best becomes the new "Obermufti" of Marrakesh.

Marrakesh is played over three rounds, with each round consisting of four turns. On each turn, players simultaneously and secretly choose three colored cylinders from behind their screen. Then, in turn order, they place matching colored assistants on their player board and perform the corresponding action, then all cylinders are placed in the cube tower. Then, in turn order, players select a color and take 1-2 of the cylinders that have passed through the tower (or those that were stuck from a previous round but have now emerged) and place them on their player boards. These cylinders will enhance future actions taken in the same color in future rounds.

Actions allow players to gain wealth, which can be traded for influence in the city. Performing various actions also earns bonuses and enhances actions even more as the game proceeds. The player who scores the most points by the end of the game wins.

My favorite game right now BUT

I love this game so much! I like the game mechanics. It may look a little intimidating but it's actually easy to learn. But, I'm only giving it a 4star because the game components are not in the best condition. First, it was missing 1 gray keshi when I opened it. Then the green player board is not properly aligned. Also, one of the green assistant is badly cracked/chipped. I have reached out to Queen Games already but there's no reply yet. For a game that costs almost 200Cad, I did not expect these kind of damages.

As for BoardGame Bliss, I am very satisfied with their delivery. It was smooth and quick. The boardgame was packaged well. It's my first purchase with BGB, and they really delivered a great service.

Marrakesh Classic/Standard Edition

Great game. I originally bought the Essential Edition, which I since sold. I felt the quality cheap for the money with so many cardboard chips it was not only harder to teach but lacked a good visual representation. I quickly realized after the first play that this is a good game and deserves the better edition. Glad I got it.

In my top 5 of all time

This is by far one of my favorite games of all time!

Marrakesh (Standard Edition)

Magnificent Marrakesh!

This game is the perfect mid-weight euro! Love the beginning drafting phase! Really adds a fun element to the game. The turns are streamlined and player turns are quick with minimal down time. There are plenty of paths to explore so this game will provide endless replay. The game components are very good with huge dual-layered player mats and nice wooden 'keshis'. One thing that really impressed me was the 12 different 'keshi' colours are easily distiguishable! This itself is a small miracle in the board gaming world. There is a cool interaction and 'connection' among the 9 areas of each players board. This is easily my best new favorite board game and can't wait to play it again!

Wyrmspan - Upgrade Pack (Metal Coins & Wooden Resources)

Room enough to fight

A nice clear mat with a good space for all of the armies. It is a little thinner than most but coming with a very sturdy storage tube is a big plus.

awesome

good game, not only that, but the customer service is SO GOOD. I asked for nemesis and they brought it into stock just for me! Moreover, they were super friendly and gave advice when I was choosing between lockdown and base nemesis. They even told me to scan the QR code on the lab rats jacket which was a very funny surprise. They even had one nemesis lockdown box hidden away so that there would at least be one in stock for me all the time.

I like the game play, but the components are terrible. Only a deck of small cards in a tiny tuck box, and it's not even good quality.

No battery included. Reasonable for this price.
