## What is Jaipur?

** WARNING: iPad 2, iPad Mini 1 & iPhone 4S are not compatible. **

*** Review - 4/5 - "strategically satisfying" "definitely a card game worth picking up"*** 148Apps

*** Review - 4/5 - "Jaipur, the latest weapon in Asmodee's war to conquer all of mobile board gaming." "A ten-year old classic brought back to life on mobile. A great fit, and a great port."*** PocketTactics

A Spiel des Jahres Recommended game, Jaipur is one of the most most well-loved 2-player tabletop games. Jaipur is a fast-paced card game for two players with a blend of tactics, risk and luck. You are one of the most powerful traders in Jaipur, the capital city of Rajasthan. You and your opponent duel to demonstrate to the Maharajah that you can earn a greater profit than your competition. At the end of a round, one player receives the Maharajah's seal of excellence, and the first player to earn two seals of excellence wins the privilege of being invited to the Maharajah’s court! 

Each turn, you can choose to take one card, exchange your cards for other goods, buy the camels needed to transport your wares, or sell at the market. The sooner you sell and the more you sell of a single good at once, the higher your profit. 

If you take cards, you have to choose between taking all the camels, taking 1 card from the market or swapping 2 to 5 cards between the market and your cards. If you sell cards, you get to sell only one type of good per turn, and you get as many chips from that good as you sold cards. The chips’ values decrease as the game progresses, but you get increasingly high rewards for selling sets of 3, 4, or 5 cards of the same good at a time, so it’s all about waiting just the right amount of time to make your trade.

You can’t sell camels, but they are integral to trading and they’re also worth a little something at the end of the round, sometimes enough to secure the win so use them smartly!

In this digital adaptation of the award-winning card game, find a comprehensive interactive tutorial and an extensive campaign mode. Solo play is available at three levels of difficulty. Play online 2 player cross-platform or locally in pass & play mode.

### 5/5 — Works great

*2026-06-02, version 1.4.5*

Saw a lot of bad reviews but they must have fixed everything wrong because I have no problems. I also have the physical game and this mobile game does it justice!

### 4/5 — 재미있는데 캠페인 들어가면 자꾸꺼져요

*2026-05-19*

캠페인 진행하다가 npc 나오고 대화지문 옵션 선택하는 항목에서 뭘 눌렀더니 옵션만 여러개 갑자기 나오다가 앱이 종료되고, 그 다음부터 아무리 앱을 재실행 해도 캠페인만 들어가면 강제 종료 됩니다

### 2/5 — Ne vaut pas son prix en l’état

*2026-03-28*

Les serveurs multijoueurs sont totalement vides, un bug empêche d’échanger des cartes lors qu’on en a déjà 7 en main, avantageant l’IA qui, elle peut échanger même dans cette situation.

Le mode campagne et le mode solo sont appréciable, mais sans multijoueur en ligne, l’app perd une grande partie de son intérêt… et pour ce prix, on est en droit d’attendre un minimum de suivi correction et une communauté active. 

En l’état, je ne recommande pas l’achat.

### 4/5 — Works well, adds variety

*2026-02-23, version 1.4.5*

The rule variations Campaign mode adds are really fun. I’ve had minimal issues with the game running, unlike other reviewers. It’s worth $4 to try it and see how it goes.

### 3/5 — Campaign AI cheats

*2025-12-01, version 1.4.5*

It seems impossible to beat later games in the campaign.

### 1/5 — Cheats

*2025-10-24, version 1.4.5*

The game's AI player cheats. Not so fun when you realize that.

### 1/5 — Can’t play with my girlfriend

*2025-09-19, version 1.4.5*

My girlfriend and I love playing the card version of this game but we are long distance. We were hoping we could play each other via phone. Nope.

The app itself looks like it was created for an ancient version of iPhone.

### 5/5 — 製作精良

*2025-09-07, version 1.4.5*

很像玩桌遊的感覺做得非常好

### 2/5 — Crashes

*2025-06-22, version 1.4.5*

Played 5 games 3 of them crashed imma stick to the real cards

### 1/5 — Crashes a lot

*2025-01-21, version 1.4.5*

Great game but crashes a lot. I see a lot of reviews saying the same. Wish the dev team would fix it.
