Agora is the Greek word for marketplace. (It’s what you’re afraid of when you have agoraphobia.)
In Agora, players build an organic-feeling marketplace, trying to make money with their shops, and shut down foot traffic to their competitors. This magnificent little abstract game, arguably the best tile game in the Hip Pocket series, has a unique twist: you can play your cards in any location, and at any angle; they don’t have to conform to a grid.
We created a nicer version of Agora for the Cheapass Games website in 2011, with better-looking cards, but the rules in both editions are the same. Agora was also the basis for the Gamesmith game, Camden. Someday we hope to bring out a new deluxe edition, but the cards are a weird shape. So don’t hold your breath.
