Turkish bazaar for the dining room table.

In this very attractive framed game for 2-5 players, you move through a variable aufzubauender 4x4 fields large Schedule. Each of these fields can be performed a different action.
Every time an action is to be executed, the merchant must be one of his assistants, which he has to collect again in the further course.
So can be collected for a goods and sold on a market (depending on demand) on.
These goods are in a separate handcart (beautifully designed motif map) collected from each player
It is also possible to come to the mosque to bonus tiles or to try his luck at dice in the tea room and so to gain money. Last but not least you can pick up at the post office valuable goods and money.
Interestingly, it is also at a meeting with other bazaar visitors. So an example brings the meeting with a smuggler another commodity or a meeting with another businessman (players) money into his own pocket.
The aim of the game is on the way through the bustle of Istanbul's bazaar first five rubies to Erlangen.
There are different ways how to access these.
Just to name a few examples, the merchants themselves can acquire the gem dealers earned money by the rubies directly or be exchanged for the Sultan Palace directly for goods. It is also possible by skillfully expand his handcart in the wheelwright, not just a place for goods to zoom in handcarts, but also to come to a ruby.

Istanbul is very well designed and attractive and above all so well, because it can be run through quickly and smoothly at first.
The manual is very good and clearly written, illustrated with many photos and illustrations.
The variable playmaking coming back new tactical possibilities and ways for each individual in question.
So it will not be bored even after several games and you're almost euphoric to allow themselves a new way through the bazaar.
The individual panels that make up the playmaking are very detailed designed (without being Confusing) and self-explanatory and do not lead to major explanation for new players.
The trains are very entertaining, so that a liquid play mode stops the entire game.

In the two-player mode, this game comes with me very well. The options on the bazaar are just as given as 3-5 players, although it is of course more players at tricky and much more exciting.
This game ends up regularly on our table and loads an over again a to draw on the exciting and challenging Bazaar of Istanbul.

In most passages that we played, it was really exciting who wins the hunt for the 5 rubies until the last train.
This indicates to me that Istanbul is a very exciting game, in which not only tactics freaks or multi-players have a chance of winning.
