DealMaker is game of wild negotiations and cunning interactions. Trade, exchange, and make the best deals possible.

Play starts with each player holding three merchandise cards in hand. The possible merchandises are peanuts, vinegar, flowers, carpets, gold, and diamonds. Players trade cards with each other in a free fashion. They compete to close deals that are placed face up in front of them. Once a deal is closed, the closer draws cards. If no deal is closed, all player agree to draw a card.

The game ends when all deals have been made or when there are no more cards to draw and no more players can close a deal. The player with the highest number of points (total sum of all deals) wins the game.
