What is Istanbul: Digital Edition?
This digital board game sets a race for rubies in Istanbul's bazaar. In each match, you move a merchant and four assistants among 16 locations to collect and trade goods or buy rubies. Taking an action leaves an assistant behind, so you must plan when to return and pick them up.
