Pegasus Spiele Istanbul: Choose & Write - Resource Trading Game - Game for Family Game Night - 1 to 5 Players - 30 to 45 Minutes of Gamplay - English Version

Fans of the Istanbul game series will recognize familiar locations in Istanbul: Choose & Write, such as the Large Market and the Gemstone Dealer. However, thanks to the innovative choose-and-write mechanism, this visit to the bazaar will challenge players in a completely new way. On their turn, players must choose to play either a Location card or a Guild card. Location cards will allow all merchants to perform the action of the specified location, or the action of an adjacent space on their sheet. If a player would rather prevent others from taking this follow action, they can instead play a Guild card, which is expensive but triggers powerful effects. Players take on the role of shrewd merchants whose goal is to gather goods and lira, then trade them for the precious rubies needed to win. Instead of a common set of locations in the middle of the table, each player has a bazaar in front of them as a game plan, a personal tracking sheet where players will mark their choices as they play. One of the significant aspects of Istanbul: Choose & Write is its accessibility. Even though it has simple rules, players will find themselves faced with a myriad of strategic choices. Another advantage of Istanbul: Choose & Write is its fast-paced gameplay. As the game is played simultaneously, there’s no waiting for other players to finish their turns, and downtime is minimal. Players looking for a game that is easy to learn, portable, and only takes up a little table space will find that Istanbul: Choose & Write is an excellent choice. See more product details
