	Description Edit \| History

From the designers' website:

The game is played in several rounds. The 3 to 5 players are sheiks who try each round to make themselves more attractive to convince as many women as possible to come to live in their harem. They can perform different actions to achieve this goal. Each round, another woman with different preferences comes into play and chooses the sheik that she is most attracted to.

Pegatinas en castellano maquetadas según diseño para las cartas (Emira)

Pegatinas maquetadas con el diseño de la carta para imprimir y pegar o cologar dentro de la funda, para las cartas del Emira/Sherezade. Las cartas de status normales (moradas) no vienen porque simplemente marcan las monedas de oro y los puntos, y no requieren de una traducción esmerada.

Emira princess cards, English translation paste-ups.

This is an Excel file. It is a full translation of the cards in English. I have not got a printer, so you may need to alter the size of the columns etc in the file to make an exact fit onto the cards.

Emira goal cards, English translation paste-ups.

This is an Excel file. I do not have a printer so can't printout the file to check the paste-ups for size against the cards. Some slight alterations may be needed to get a better fit to the file.

Emira event cards, English translation paste-ups.

This is an Excel file. It has all 54 Event cards, including the title of the card. I don't have a printer, so can't print out the file to see how the printouts match the cards for size, a little altering may be needed to the file for a better fit.
