Description

Recently named Top Ten Game 2012!--Games Magazine.

Games Magazine places Harem at a perfect balance between simple and complex and states "attractive strategies and ploys will reveal themselves to experienced players"-- John J McCallion, editor.

Harem is an easy-to-learn card game where you attempt to create the most envied harem in the lands. Players take the role of a Sultan and play gold and gems to eventually buy harem concubines. But watch out for opponents who hire thieves to threaten your treasury. Once in the harem, concubines train in the arts of dancing and seduction and adorn themselves with jewels. The player with the best harem in the end is the winner!
