	Description Edit \| History

During the game the players will acquire goods which they will try to resell at the best price in four cities. Each type of good has its own market where the prices of the goods will fluctuate. To transport their goods, each player owns a charming elephant able to transport up to two bundles.

Up to now Bombay will be one of Ystari's lightest games.
It's the third game of author Cyril Demaegd. Illustrations are by Stéphane Poinsot.

Readable _Bombay_ rules

For us senior-citizen gamers, and others in the 'thick-eyeglass brigade', here are the rules necessary to play _Bombay_, formatted to be printed out on 8.5x11 paper in 12-point type. Hope 'twill be more readable than the standard rulebook.
