INTRODUCTION GAME IDEA COMPONENTS
2-5 players aged 10 and up playing time: 40-60 minutesINTRODUCTIONHustle and bustle in the bazaar district of Istanbul: merchants and their assistants are hurrying through the narrow alleys attempting to be more successful than their competitors. Good organization is key: wheelbarrows haveto be filled with goods at the warehouses and then swiftly transported by the assistants to the various destinations.The goal of the merchants is to be the first to collect a certain amount of rubies.GAME IDEAYou are leading a merchant and four assistants through the 16 Places of the bazaar. At each Place, you can carryout a specific action.The challenge is that, to carry out an action at any of those Places, your merchant needs the help of an assistantand has to leave him behind. To use that assistant again later, your merchant has to come back to that Place andpick him up. So plan ahead carefully to avoid being left with no assistants and thus unable to do anything COMPONENTS16x5x15x7xPer player 1 Merchant( sticker)Place tiles,called “Places”Wheelbarrows(player boards)26xStickers for the Governor, Smuggler andMerchants (attach thembefore your first play)Wheelbarrowextensions16x10x5 Assistants1 Familymember4 Goodsindicators4xBonus cardsMosque tiles5xDemand tiles1x1xCoins (Lira)Values: 1 (30x),5 (15x) and 10 (12x)Mail indicators32xOverviewsStarting player markerGovernor (purple) andSmuggler (black)1Rubies2xDice

FLOW OF PLAYBeginning with the Start player you take turns in clockwise order.When the first player has collected 5 Rubies (in a 2-player game: 6 Rubies) on the appropriate spaces of hisWheelbarrow, you complete the current round. After this round the game ends.YOUR TURNA turn consists of 4 phases but, most of the time, only the 2 phases “Movement” and “Action” are actually played.The other phases, the so-called “Encounters” (blue background below), will only take place when your Merchantencounters other tokens.On your turn, you may use any number of Bonus cards and the special abilities of your Mosque tiles.You must always go through the following phases in the given order regardless of whether you go through all ofthem or not!1. MovementMove your Merchant and the stack of Assistants under him (if any) by 1 or 2 Places. You may not movediagonally and you must end up on a different Place than you started at.One of the following two cases may occur at the Merchant’s Target Place:a) There is already one of your Assistants at that PlacePlace your stack on top of this Assistant (fig. on the right).So he joins your stack, and on your next movement you will takethis Assistant with your stack.b) There is none of your Assistants at the Target PlaceRemove an Assistant from the bottom of your stack and place himnext to the stack (fig. on the right). If you can’t (because your Mer chant hasn’t brought an Assistant with him) or if you refuse to do so:Your turn ends immediately (Exception: Fountain 7 , see p. 6).On your next turn, you will have to leave this Assistant behind at that Place.Note:If you have the yellow Mosque tile, you may pay 2 Lira to take an Assistant back from another Place andadd him to your Merchant stack.2. Encounters with other Merchants (if any)If there are any other Merchants at the Target Place, you have to payeach of them 2 Lira. Your turn ends immediately if you cannot or donot want to pay.Exception: You don’t have to pay other Merchants at the Fountain 7 .Special case in a 2-player game:If you encounter a neutral Merchant (ie of an unused color), pay the2 Lira into the general supply. Then roll both dice to determine a newposition for this neutral Merchant and place him there.Example: The red player has to pay2 Lira to the yellow and the greenplayer, otherwise his turn endsimmediately.3. ActionIf your turn did not end during step 1 or 2, you may now carry out the action that the Target Placeprovides (see p. 6/7).4
4. Encounters (if any) in any order with other Family membersAfter your action, if there are other players’ Family members at the Target Place, you must catchthem and send them all to the Police Station 12 (unless they are there already). As a reward forcatching them, you may take 1 Bonus card or 3 Lira from the general supply for each such Familymember. If you catch more than 1 Family member, you may take a different or the same reward foreach of them (you do not get any reward in the Police Station). the GovernorYou may draw 1 Bonus card from the face-down stack and put it into your hand.

END OF THE GAMEThe first player to collect 5 Rubies (in a 2-player game: 6 Rubies) triggers the end of the game. When thishappens, complete the current round. Then each player may use his leftover Bonus cards that provide goods ormoney. This may matter for the tie-breaker.Example: The yellowplayer has collected his5th Ruby. The game endsafter the current round iscompleted.The player with the most Rubies wins.Ties are broken in the following order: most leftover Lira most leftover goods on the Wheelbarrow most leftover Bonus cardsIf these have not resolved the tie, there are multiple winners.VARIANT (FOR 2-4 PLAYERS)VariatIONS fOR PLACE TILE LAYOUTSIf you have already played Istanbul a fewtimes, we recommend you try out this moretactical variant: During setup, replace the bottommost Assistant of your stack with an Assistant of aneutral color (we recommend you use whiteas the neutral color, see fig. below). Short paths (sorted by the blue numbers)Use this layout when learning the game or when you wish toplay a shorter game.The distances between Places that work well together aresmall, which makes the game easier to play. If your Merchant ends his movement at aPlace with a neutral Assistant, he may pickhim up as if this were one of your Assistants. If there are both a neutral and one of yourAssistants at the Target Place, you maydecide which Assistant to pick up in orderto carry out the action. You are allowed to have more than oneneutral Assistant under your Merchant. At the Fountain 7 , you can only get yourown Assistants back. Long paths (sorted by the green numbers)This layout is designed for experienced players: Places thatwork well together are far apart from each other, which forcesyou to plan ahead more carefully when placing your Assistants. In order (sorted by the big numbers)This layout is also more challenging: similar Places aregrouped together. Random layoutThis layout offers a lot of variety: shuffle the Place tiles andlay them out in a 4x4 grid. The challenge is to find out whichpaths are the most efficient in the given layout, which is different from play to play.Please note: even with a random layout, it is recommendedthat you use the following restrictions:The Fountain 7 has to be on one of the 4 Places in themiddle of the grid.The Black Market 8 and the Tea House 9 should have adistance from each other of at least 3 Places.CREDITSThe publisher and the designer would like to thank all play-testers and proof-readers for their valuable feedback.Designer: Rüdiger DornIllustrations: Andreas ReschGraphic Design: Andreas Resch,Hans-Georg SchneiderRealization: Ralph BruhnEnglish Translation: Grzegorz KobielaCopyright 2014 Pegasus Spiele GmbHStraßheimer Str. 261169 Friedbergwww.pegasus.deAll rights reserved.
