So, what does this game offer?
In Istanbul, players assume the role of a merchant and their four assistants, navigating through 16 locations within the bustling bazaar. Each location offers distinctive actions to undertake. However, there's a catch – in order to execute an action, you must relocate your merchant and leave an assistant behind to handle the intricacies while you tackle larger matters. If you wish to employ that assistant again, your merchant must return to their location and retrieve them. Consequently, meticulous planning becomes vital to avoid being left without any assistants and rendered incapable of progressing.
