Istanbul (English version)

The Grand Bazaar of Istanbul is bustling with activity. Merchants and their assistants rush through narrow alleys, racing to outdo their competitors. Everything requires careful organization: fill your wheelbarrows with goods from warehouses and have your assistants transport them to various destinations. Your goal? Become the first merchant to collect the required number of rubies!

In Istanbul, each player guides a merchant and their 4 assistants across sixteen different bazaar locations. Each location requires a specific action—buying or selling goods, rescuing a family member from the police station, visiting the mosque, or stopping by the tea house—all of which demand careful planning. Once a merchant collects 5 rubies in their wheelbarrow, the current round is completed, and the game ends. The player with five rubies wins. If multiple merchants reach five rubies, the player with the most money in hand wins.

The game is in English.
