Description

There&39;s hustle and bustle at Istanbul&39;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&39;s reached this goal he wins immediately; otherwise ties are broken by money in hand Players 2-5 Playing Time 50 Minutes Suggested Ages 10
