Istanbul: Mocha & Baksheesh

Attention, merchants! Istanbul is buzzing with a new craze: coffee! If you thought selling fabrics and spices was good business, get ready for the profit wave this aromatic beverage can bring. But don't be fooled, competition is fierce, and your loyal assistants can't handle everything. It's time to appeal to the tavern crowd! For a few coins (or baksheesh, as they say), you can recruit new helpers to boost your business.

This first expansion for the acclaimed Istanbul adds four new locations to the board, which can now be assembled modularly, ensuring each game is a new adventure. More player interaction? It's got that too! And, of course, new and creative ways to gather the coveted rubies that lead you to victory. Prepare to move your pawns through the bazaar, roll the dice for luck, and manage your resources like never before, all to dominate the lucrative coffee market. If you enjoy economic games with a touch of luck and plenty of strategy, this expansion will make your base game even more delightful. It's like adding an extra dose of spice to your favorite tea – but with coffee and more excitement!
