Build a desert market and win a barter game against your family.
No coins. No cards. Just bread, linen, honey and your best deal-making face. Who leaves the market richest?
- New skill Building market stalls with displays
- Level 7 · Time Travellers
- Difficulty Intermediate
- Mode Creative
- Time 45–60 min
- Ages 13+
What you’ll build
Build a desert market by the Nile with striped awnings, item-frame displays and a central well. Set exchange rates on signs, give every trader a starter chest and race to collect a secret set of goods in a fast-paced barter game.
Finish line: Your six-stall market is built, the barter game is played and a champion trader is crowned.
Bonus challenge: Bring in the deben: make 1 copper ingot worth 1 deben and price everything in it. Does trading get faster or slower? Why?
You’ll need
- Item frames
- Chests
- Wool for awnings
- Signs
- Trade goods
- 1–3 friends or family members
You choose
- My stall sells
- My stall's name and slogan
- The secret set I'm collecting
Stuck?
- Items vanishing from frames? Tap carefully: hitting a frame knocks its item out.
- Trade rates confusing? Put every rate on a sign at the stall, like '1 linen = 3 bread'.
- Playing solo? Take turns on the same device, or play one trader against a list of rates.
