Marrakech is a board game designed by Dominique Ehrhard. It was first published in 2007.
Gameplay
Two to four players play the game, but four is recommended.
The game is played on a game grid of 7 times 7 squares. Players place “carpets” of the size of two squares, possibly overlapping each other. Each player has a color and plays only carpets of his color from his stack. The players also move a single “trader” piece on the grid using a special six-sided dice. When someone moves the trader to an opponent's carpet, they have to pay an amount of game money equal to the size of connected carpet squares of the same colour to the owner of the carpet. The players aim to earn money this way and to have less of their carpets covered by other pieces of carpet.
