Product Information

Pay 7 Lira into the general supply to take a Wheelbarrow extension from the Wainwright and place it in your Wheelbarrow. In Istanbul, players represent merchants in a Turkish bazaar who work to be the first to acquire five rubies (six in a two-player game) and win the game. Players move around a 4×4 board of tiles with the help of their assistants, acquiring goods and lira (coins) that can eventually be swapped for rubies, or can be used to fulfill certain other tasks that will earn one ruby each. The board can change each game, and the presence of two different types of currency means there are several varying paths to victory, all readily apparent upon one or two plays—at least three rough strategies: money-centric, goods-centric, and one built around achievements. I’ve said before that race games have a tangible vitality that can elevate them beyond counting victory points, and Istanbul is no different. The players pinball around the board, collecting and trading goods for rubies, grasping for any advantage to edge them in front of their opponents. Yet the journey from start to finish is worthy in and of itself. It’s fun to think about where to go next, what you’ll get in return and what that means in terms of rubies. It may be a race but the course is as good as the finish line. 2. Wheelbarrows!

Istanbul won 2014’s Kennerspiel des Jahres award, given to the best advanced-strategy game of the year, previously won by 7 Wonders and Village. The award is now separate from the Spiel des Jahres, which honors the best family-strategy or mainstream game of the year, and went in 2014 to Camel Up. Istanbul is a great game, worthy of some honor here, but it’s not a particularly advanced or difficult game, easily understood by my eight-year-old daughter (although she’s pretty sharp, in my unbiased opinion), and probably would have been a better choice for the mainstream prize rather than the expert-level game award. Continue to the space for the appropriate number of players. Place 1 Ruby on each space and leave the remaining spaces empty. You may carry out the action that the target place provides. If you cannot or do not want to carry it out, you may proceed with phase 4 (Encounters). IV. Encounters with ... other Family members In conclusion, Istanbul is a lot more fun than grocery shopping!

Being a successful merchant in Istanbul is not all plain sailing. You have your wayward cousin to contend with. He is trying so hard to be successful but things just don’t work out and he regularly finds himself a guest of the local constabulary. The art style and board are colourful, with a handy player aid explaining all the options available to all players. The rubies and crystals are nice and tactile which when combined with the colourful dice make the game visually appealing. A Race To The Finish As an adaptation of the popular tabletop game of the same name, Root takes a tactical approach,and sees you play as one of many factions, battling for supremacy in the woods with two to four players.You mustrecruit armies, build bases in forest clearings, and face off against rivalssuch as the Marquise de Cat, the Eyrie, and the Woodland Alliance. Each of these playable factions has its own unique playstyle based upon the lore and characteristics of its animals, and the game channels the same art style as the beloved original. Forward planning is crucial but thankfully, given the 4×4 nature of the layout, it is not “brain-meltingly” difficult to do.
