Basari is a negotiation board game for three or four players, designed by Reinhard Staupe and published by F.X. Schmid in 1998. Each player is a gem merchant. In every round the players secretly choose one of three actions and reveal them together. When two merchants pick the same action they must haggle over which of them gets to carry it out, and when more than two pick it, nobody benefits. The aim is to hold the majority of a gem type when each of three scoring rounds arrives, and the majorities earn victory points. It finished sixth in the 1998 Deutscher Spiele Preis voting, and a revised version appeared from 2003 as Edel, Stein and Reich from alea and Ravensburger.
