Brief & Siegel: Istanbul Exp

Five new, promising places await the bazaar merchants in the second expansion for the multi-award-winning board game Istanbul, Letters & Seals. Now, players can deliver letters on behalf of the embassy and gain seals in return a valuable resource for which the secret society of Istanbul is willing to pay with rubies from secret sources which also affects the price for rubies. Kiosk and auction house on the other hand allow actions in which all players participate. And players who manage to bring their companion into play have a partner on the board, who can act independently from the merchant. More flexibility, more interaction and the option to play on a huge 5x5 bazaar: the expansion Letters & Seals adds many more possibilities to the popular board game Istanbul but also manages to keep its flow and unusual fast gameplay for a family plus game. May the hunt for rubies continue.
