Introduction: Hustle and bustle in the bazaar district of Istanbul! Merchants and their assistants gather goods at the warehouses and then swiftly transported to the various destinations by the assistants. The goal of the merchants is to be the first to collect a certain number of rubies. Istanbul: Mocha & Baksheesh: Selling precious fabrics, the finest of spices, and the freshest of fruits in Istanbul was very good for business. But now, the customers at the bazaar have discovered a new delicacy: coffee! As the cunning merchant you are, you sense the fortune you can make by selling the tasty bean. To overcome these new challenges, you will need more help than just that of your assistants. Luckily, for a baksheesh, the guests at the tavern are willing to take a little side job. Also, at the guild hall, you can find the valuable help you need. Istanbul: Letters & Seals: You, the merchants of Istanbul, came up with a new and quite lucrative way of earning an extra dime: delivering messages to the shopkeepers of the bazaar! While doing so, you can catch some useful information here and there that you can sell to the secret society for rubies ... In order to keep your regular business running, you have hired a companion who is actively supporting you. True, he is a little slower than you would like but at least he does not require any assistants. The Istanbul Big Box contains the Base Game, Mocha & Backsheesh, and Letters & Seals, AND the Caravan promo tile! Note: Packaging may vary in colour and style. |
Features: Istanbul big box combines the base Game plus two expansions! You are leading a merchant and four assistants through the 16 Places of the bazaar. At each Place, you can carry out a specific action. The challenge is that, to carry out an action at any of those Places, your merchant needs the help of an assistant and has to leave him behind. To use that assistant again later, your merchant has to come back to that Place and pick him up. So plan ahead carefully to avoid being left with no assistants and thus unable to do anything ...
