Istanbul: Letters & Seals

You, as merchants in Istanbul, have found a new and highly profitable way to earn extra cash: delivering messages to bazaar shopkeepers! While on these deliveries, you can gather useful information to sell to a secret society for rubies. To keep your regular business going, you've hired a companion. He's a bit slow, but he doesn't need any assistants. Istanbul: Letters & Seals is an expansion for the Istanbul board game and was a 2016 Golden Geek Best Board Game Expansion Nominee.

To use this game expansion, first make sure you have the base Istanbul game. Then add the components from Istanbul: Letters & Seals to the base game as described in the instructions. As you play, try to deliver messages to shop - keepers to earn money and collect useful information to trade for rubies. When your companion is making deliveries, be patient as he's a bit slow. After each game, store the components in a dry and cool place to keep them in good condition. Avoid bending or damaging the cards and tokens. If you notice any dirt on the components, gently wipe them with a soft cloth.
