Bought immediately when I realised that the Mocha expansion is coming soon! So far, so good. The interface is clean, and there is the physicality of the original board game still intact. The AI seems to be strong as well, but I'll update my opinion as I get better at the game.

Very good digital implementation of a great board game. I like the interface decisions they made, to make the different options visually "work" on a phone. (Just pasting on the board game art/interface doesn't typically work well.) I do wish they had notifications enabled to let you know when it's your turn on an asynchronous game.

Can't register for online, not idea what's going on. I try and sing up with my email and it says email not available. Then try Facebook and it says it's not available.. how do I play online?

Really love this game but for some reason I cannot access the chat feature. There is no chat icon beside the notification icon on the right hand side as there should be. I am playing with someone and they keep sending me messages and I can't respond which is very frustrating. I have search and searched the settings and cannot find anywhere that it may be turned off or something. One time as a fluke I was able to access the global chat, but I could never get there again. Please help!

It's 2024 and I'm still loving this game. Great implementation of an already great board game that just flows smoothly. Everything is intuitive after a handful of plays. I would love to see some expansions in 2024, at least the two main ones (Coffee, Letters) from the physical "Big Box" edition. Any expansion would be an immediate purchase for me, and I'll bet a lot of others, given the number of 5-star reviews I see here!

About this app

Istanbul is, without a doubt, one of the best board games to have ever been published. The long list of its awards and honors speaks for itself:

🏆 2015 Nederlandse Spellenprijs Best Expert Game Nominee
🏆 2014 Swiss Gamers Award Winner
🏆 2014 Meeples' Choice Nominee
🏆 2014 Kennerspiel des Jahres Winner
🏆 2014 International Gamers Award - General Strategy: Multi-player Nominee
🏆 2014 Hra roku Nominee
🏆 2014 Gouden Ludo Winner
🏆 2014 Golden Geek Board Game of the Year Nominee
🏆 2014 Golden Geek Best Strategy Board Game Nominee
🏆 2014 Golden Geek Best Family Board Game Nominee

In our 2018 digital version we have maintained all of the features that made Istanbul the fan favorite that it is, but also expanded upon it with a number of tools and features only available on the digital platform. We maintained the authentic board game feeling with the convenience you can expect from an electronic device.

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 a location, you can carry out a specific action. The challenge, however, 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…
