Wampum

CoRN AND WEAPONS FOR SALE

Wampum was once a coveted object for barter. As in earlier times we are traders swapping goods for goods or goods for wampum in the villages – if you own most wampum at the end of the game you win. Each round comprises bidding, choice of start player, distribute new goods, check limit and trade.

You bid for the right to trade in a village, there can only be one trader per village. In turn all players place any number of goods and their trader into a village. If a player wants to do so in a village already taken he must offer more goods. The ousted trader can change to an empty village or a village with a lower bid, he must not change his bid. For the highest bid of the round you receive the canoe and are starting player for the next round. Then all players receive 2 goods from the stack. The highest bid also determines the limit for cards in your hand it is highest bid+3. If you hold more cards you must discards goods face down. Then trade is done in each village: If you offer goods that are already present you place your goods into the village and take up those that are already there. If you only offer goods that are not available in the village you place one good of each kind into the village, the rest of the cards are wampum for you. When the draw pile is empty you finish the round and play one final round, at the end each player takes one card from the hand for wampum.

Wampum is a cute bidding game where a good card memory is an advantage as you will know better what others can bid as you watch what they get in the villages. If you like bidding games, you will like Wampum.
