Istanbul: Digital Edition for PC - Free Download: Windows 10/11 Edition

★ ★ ★ Istanbul Overview

What is Istanbul? The Istanbul app is the official digital adaptation of the award-winning board game Istanbul. The game involves leading a group of one merchant and four assistants through 16 locations in the bazaar, where you can carry out specific actions. The challenge is to plan ahead carefully to avoid being left with no assistants and thus unable to do anything. The app maintains the authentic board game feeling with the convenience of an electronic device.

Game Features and Description

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. The official digital adaptation of one of the best board games in history – Istanbul.

4. In Istanbul, you lead a group of one merchant and his four assistants through 16 locations in the bazaar.

5. If you want to use that assistant again later, your merchant must return to that location to pick him up.

6. Istanbul is, without a doubt, one of the best board games to have ever been published.

7. We maintained the authentic board game feeling with the convenience you can expect from an electronic device.

8. In each such a location, you can carry out a specific action.

A little tough on smaller screen sizes.

By Quickbrownfox13 (Pcmac user)

I’m a huge fan of the board game and am happy to have found this for IOS. I’m not sure what could be done differently, but I find that I have to really get close to my screen to play this game well since strategy depends upon looking at the current states of each position on the board. Things like seeing how many assistants are left in a stack require zooming in and out. It’s still fun, but not a super easy experience on a smaller phone (iphone 6/7). Note to developers - the small market doesn’t deduct the right amount of resources when you purchase the first tiles. It should cost two and only deducts one from the inventory.
Great game, good app

By Mgway (Pcmac user)

I've played half a dozen games now and haven't had any problems with gameplay of app stability. However, I think there are a few small issues that if resolved would make this a great app. First, the turn notifications don't follow the ios notifications setting, instead they're hidden under the "my account" settings. Second, there are a ton of loading screens when playing an online game. My iPhone XS takes about 15 seconds across two loading screens to load the game after tapping the notification, and the same reload happens to go to sleep in the middle of taking a turn.
Fantastic Game! Dice Game Next?

By AlaskaDaveAK (Pcmac user)

This is an excellent port of the this app board game. I wasn't too familiar with the game, though, and the tutorial got me up to speed without overloading me. Beautiful art, great gameplay and nice UI make for a wonderful app and well worth the few dollars they're asking. Any chance for the this app Dice Game, which my group actually prefers to regular this app? If not, we'd love the this app expansions. Thank you for this great app, typical of the work, energy and passion of Acram Digital.
Great port of a great game!

By anotherfan321 (Pcmac user)

Genuinely impressed by this port. No info is hidden, the music and graphics are crisp and clean. None of that slowdown featured in other board game ports. And of course, this app is a phenomenal board game. Don’t listen to the silly reviews saying they didn’t implement the rules correctly. Clearly some people were playing with house rules and didn’t know it. I highly recommend this port and game.
