Istanbul Big Box

Istanbul is a gateway-plus strategy game, based in a bustling Turkish marketplace. Your aim is to collect gems quicker than your opponents. This bazaar gets a modular treatment every time, as you construct it out of sixteen tiles in a 4x4 grid. You and your four assistants travel around to adjacent tiles, trading fabrics, spices and fruits in you wheelbarrow for gems. (That’s an impressive swap!)

Move to a new location and perform the stated actions depicted there. But every time you move, you have to drop off an assistant along the way. Run out of assistants? You have to head back home. Or, you can double back on your route, picking up that earlier-dropped assistant back into your service. Can you figure out an efficient route around the stalls to pick up what you need? It’s a wonderful puzzle of a board game mechanism!
