More info: There's hustle and bustle at Istanbul's grand bazaar as merchants and their assistants rush through the narrow alleys in their attempt to be more successful than their competitors. Everything must be well organized: wheelbarrows must be filled with goods at the warehouses, then swiftly transported by the assistants to various destinations. Your goal? Be the first merchant to collect a certain number of rubies.In Istanbul, you lead a group of one merchant and four assistants through 16 locations in the bazaar. At each such location, you can carry out a specific action. The challenge, though, is that to take an action, you must move your merchant and an assistant there, then leave the assistant behind (to handle all the details while you focus on larger matters). If you want to use that assistant again later, your merchant must return to that location to pick him up. Thus, you must plan ahead carefully to avoid being left with no assistants and thus unable to do anything...In more detail, on a turn you move your merchant and his retinue of assistants one or two steps through the bazaar, either leave an assistant at that location or collect an assistant left earlier, then perform the action. If you meet other merchants or certain individuals at the location, you might be able to take a small extra action. Possible actions include:Paying to increase your wheelbarrow capacity, which starts the game with a capacity of only two for each good.Filling your wheelbarrow with a specified good to its limit.Acquiring a special ability, and the earlier you come, the easier they are to collect.Buying rubies or trading goods for rubies.Selling special combinations of goods to make the money you need to do everything else.When a merchant has collected five rubies in his wheelbarrow, players complete that round, then the game ends. If this player is the only one who's reached this goal, he wins immediately; otherwise ties are broken by money in hand. - LessAWARDS & HONORS2017 Juego del Año Finalist2015 Nederlandse Spellenprijs Best Expert Game Nominee2015 JUG Adult Game of the Year Finalist2014 Swiss Gamers Award Winner2014 Meeples' Choice Nominee2014 Kennerspiel des Jahres Winner2014 Kennerspiel des Jahres Nominee2014 Jocul Anului în România Advanced Finalist2014 International Gamers Award - General Strategy: Multi-player Nominee2014 Hra roku Nominee2014 Gouden Ludo Winner2014 Gouden Ludo Nominee2014 Golden Geek Board Game of the Year Nominee2014 Golden Geek Best Strategy Board Game Nominee2014 Golden Geek Best Family Board Game Nominee2014 Board Game Quest Awards Best Strategy/Euro Game Nominee
