Lessons of Trade Unveiled

Pahadi Bazaar, a game set in HImachali markets, an environment where players blind bid for the raw materials they need to satisfy their customers. Blind bidding requires each player to stake a number of coins they are willing to risk for attaining the material, and the player who risks the most wins the material. The game teaches players to think cleverly and consider the profit they could achieve from the customer as well. This simple game set in the market teaches the basic rules of the market from a very fundamental perspective.
