The official VR adaptation of one of the best board games in history - Istanbul. 

Welcome to the hustle and bustle of 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 have to be filled with goods at the warehouses and then swiftly transported to the various destinations by the assistants. The goal of the merchants is to be the first to collect a certain amount of rubies.

So what is the game about?

Can you be the first merchant to collect a certain number of rubies?

• Run, collect, and trade goods across the bazaar.

• Take control over your assistants.

• Increase your wheelbarrow capacity.

• Acquire special abilities to increase the advantage over your competitors.

• Buy rubies or trade goods for them.

In Istanbul, you lead a group of one merchant and his four assistants through 16 locations in the bazaar. In each such location, you can carry out a specific action. The challenge, however, is that to take 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...

What are you waiting for? Become the best merchant in Istanbul!
