The aim of the game is to earn as much money as possible over three rounds. Players manage this by placing their stall markers in the same rows or columns as valuable customers. Players should take care however, that their stalls aren't in the same row or column as one or other of such unpleasant types as the tax collector, or they may find their hard earned profits disappearing before their eyes. The wooden pieces are each stamped with a number of lines. The number of lines represents the amount of wares available on the stand.
More lines means more profits, but more risk too.
They pay 1-6 Hellers per ware. 1 Tile showing Bags of Gold doubles the value of all wares, whether positive or negative. 2 Fire tiles are insurmountable obstacles. A fire splits the row and column in which it burns into two parts, each of which is valued separately. 1 Evil Eye tile is every stallholder's nightmare.
