Istanbul: Digital Edition

Istanbul is a route-planning and trading board game set across sixteen locations in a busy bazaar. Move your merchant and assistants between stalls to gather goods, sell stock, upgrade your wheelbarrow, and obtain rubies. Most actions require leaving an assistant behind, so efficient routes must also bring you back to collect helpers before you run out. Balance earning money against trading directly for the gems needed to win. Three AI difficulty levels, pass-and-play, and synchronous or asynchronous online matches offer different opponents. Preset and randomized layouts change the available routes. The paid base game has an optional Mocha & Baksheesh expansion sold separately.
