Universe

Istanbul: Big Box is the all-in-one package for Istanbul, including the base game as well as both expansions, Mocha & Baksheesh and Letters & Seals. It also includes the Istanbul: Caravan Leader Mini Expansion, in the form of a small tile rather than a camel meeple.

Gameplay

You lead a group made up of a merchant and four assistants who work in the 16 districts of the bazaar. Each district offers you a specific action if you can leave one of your assistants there, but you'll have to come back to fetch him. When it's your turn, move to a new district and collect goods from the warehouses, try to increase your fortune, exchange your goods for rubies, collect bonus cards and use them, or take advantage of the powers of the mosques. And beware of the other merchants who will do anything to be the first to acquire 6 rubies and win.

Add a little character, a little help for a few pennies, and a new commodity - coffee - with the Moka & Bakchich expansion. And find out how to monetise information with the Missives & Seals expansion.
