On your turn, you move one of three assistant meeples through the Grand Bazaar and take the action where it lands. Actions include buying, trading, and rolling dice for wool, camel hair, silk, plant dye, and carmine dye. Each assistant has limited range, but with careful planning, you can set up a quick and efficient series of actions to net you all the materials you need for your commissions before another player completes theirs. At the end of each turn, if you have the necessary materials, you may complete one commission you have in hand.
Resources are limited and the market fluctuates every round. Watch for opportunities to grab more for less, and be careful to avoid moments when the resource you need is out of stock everywhere. Gain skill to attract better commissions, move your assistants further in each round, claim and complete multiple commissions at once, and earn bonus prestige. Optionally, play with the Advanced Workshop Mode so every weaver has their own unique ability taken at the start of the game and at the end of every round.
When any player completes nine or more commissions, or gains the maximum of fourteen skill, the current round is finished, and the player with the most prestige wins! Tabriz includes a robust solo mode with multiple AI opponents.
