Istanbul: Choose & Write*

Welcome back to the bazaar of Istanbul! Players take on the role of clever traders, collecting goods and Lira to exchange for valuable rubies needed for victory. Instead of a central board, each player has their own market sheet to track their decisions, and they can play either location or guild cards to take actions or hinder other players. Familiar locations like the Grand Bazaar and Gem Merchant return, but the innovative choose-and-write mechanism offers a fresh challenge.

  • 1 - 5 Players
  • 30 - 45 Minutes
  • 8+ years old
  • Easy to learn
