About the game
Welcome to the city of a thousand hats! Where you have the same possibilities of winning great fortunes as of ruining yourself in the attempt. You don't need to look out of the window of your carriage to know that you have arrived at your destination. The bustle of the market and the smell of money is more than enough. You take a quick glance at your saddlebags, where a tail of smelly fish peeks over the edge, and you smile triumphantly, this is yours. In AntaYagi, players will become ambitious merchants seeking fame and fortune, although in the end only the best bartering master will achieve glory. What are you waiting for, make the most peculiar trades, and sabotage your competitors to become a true merchant? Each round, every player has three cards in their hand. You choose someone to trade with and select a card. Both players place their cards face up on the table at the same time. If the cards are the same, the trade does not take place. Otherwise, each player takes the other player's card into their own alforja (saddle bag). Special cards can lead to stealing, discarding, or additional conditions. After swapping, players replenish their hands to three cards. The game continues in turns until someone has collected four (or five if there are more players) goods. That player wins immediately. —description from the publisher

Questions and answers
AntaYagí supports 3–7 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for AntaYagí is 5–15 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists AntaYagí for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
AntaYagí has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
