Gameplay: A Colorful Contest of Rug Domination

Marrakech is all about cleverly placing your rugs to cover the most valuable spaces in the market and outmaneuver your opponents. While the exact rules are complex, here's a simplified overview:

1. The Market: The game board represents a bustling marketplace, divided into squares.
2. Assam (the Market Overseer): A shared pawn, Assam, moves around the market. His movement is determined by player choices and a die roll.
3. Placing Rugs: On your turn, you'll:
   • Orient Assam: Choose which direction Assam will face.
   • Roll the Die: Roll a special die (often with slippers/feet instead of numbers) to determine how many spaces Assam moves.
   • Move Assam: Move Assam the indicated number of spaces in the chosen direction.
   • Pay Fees (if necessary): If Assam lands on an opponent's rug, you must pay them a fee based on the size of the connected rug group.
   • Place a Rug: Place one of your own rug pieces adjacent to Assam.
4. Covering Opponents' Rugs: You can place your rugs over parts of your opponents' rugs, strategically reducing their visible area (and their potential income!).
5. Scoring: The game ends after a set number of rounds or when a certain condition is met (e.g., all players have placed all their rugs). Players earn points based on:
   • Visible Rug Area: The total area of your rugs that are not covered by opponents' rugs.
   • Coins Collected: Money earned during the game (from fees paid by other players).
6. Winning: The player with the most points wins, becoming the most successful rug merchant in the Marrakech souk!
