Welcome back to the Istanbul Bazaar!

Once again, players take on the role of shrewd merchants whose goal is to gather goods and lira, then trade them for the precious rubies needed to win. In Istanbul: Choose & Write, instead of a common set of locations in the middle of the table, each player has a bazaar in front of them as a game plan, a personal tracking sheet where players will mark their choices as they play.

On their turn, players must choose to play either a Location card or a Guild card. Location cards will allow all merchants to perform the action of the specified location, or the action of an adjacent space on their sheet. If a player would rather prevent others from taking this follow action, they can instead play a Guild card, which is expensive but triggers powerful effects.

Fans of the Istanbul game series will recognize familiar locations in the Istanbul Choose & Write Board Game, such as the Large Market and the Gemstone Dealer. However, thanks to the innovative choose-and-write mechanism, this visit to the bazaar will challenge players in a completely new way.

I do not know what a Meeple is, but it is safe to say these folks are more than Meeples, lol...ordered some out of print board games from them for shipping to the USA, and they had no problems fulfilling it in a timely fashion! Still waiting for it to arrive (as expected), but not imagining there's much more they can do at this point to make the experience any better than the great level it's been so far! Thanks again :D

MTM is the best! I have made 3 purchases with them this year (some marvel and dc omnibus’) and have only had pleasant experiences with them.As an omnibus collector i can also say they have some of the best prices for these kinds of books.I have bought from places like Amazon previously and have received already damaged books (labelled as brand new) - although this type of thing is common, ive never had an experience like this when shopping with More Than Meeples and i will continue to shop with them.

More than Meeples are my all time favourite board game store. Whether you are looking to buy board games online or in store they are ready to help.

This is my new pick for Brisbane's best game store. good amount of stock and caters to niche interests. has a bit more than your vanilla gamesters. be prepared to have a difficult time finding the place though, be sure to get there than give the friendly staff a call for directions. this place is worth discovering

I was looking for a Pokemon figurine to decorate my car. Most places I searched have it but shipping prices are expensive, even ones from Japan. I accidentally stumbled onto More Than Meeples. Guess what: they have the figurine I want at a cheap price (with discounts too), with affordable shipping price, and from Queensland?! I immediately purchase from them.Even when my package arrived, they did it with utmost care by bubble wrapping it. I did not expect it but I'm satisfied they did it.Thank you so much for my purchase. I'm so glad to find many Pokemon figurines I can buy in Australia and supporting local pop culture shops. :))

Ordering from the US here so of course shipping was expensive, but the game itself is so hard to find anywhere else in the world and they had it the cheapest! Super easy to checkout and find everything, gave me consistent email updates, and overall great experience for a place I had never heard of before. Would recommend!

I have made several purchases of omnibuses from Meeples.The packaging is exceptionally well done, ensuring the safe arrival of your books. The shipping and order confirmation processes are also excellent. My absolute Swamp Thing by Alan Moore arrived today, ahead of schedule! I will continue to make purchases from them.

A fairly obscure game I wanted was not just in stock, but on special, and the postal charge was cheap too, considering the size of the item. It was sent out very promptly and arrived on time and in perfect condition. I wish all my online games shopping experiences could be this good.

Discovered this great store from the Board Game BBQ podcast. So, as soon as I had some new games to grab, I wanted to support the store that supports one of the podcasts I enjoy.Very prompt service and packaged well. Everything arrived safely over the interstate trip. Thanks for being helping the Australian board game community grow!

Preordered a large kickstarter that ran into recurring delays. Aside that aspect (waited almost a year extra) which is out of their control, I’m very satisfied with my order, now that it’s received. Delivery was swift and painless once it got dispatched. Maybe I’ll steer away from preorders for a while, and order only what’s available upfront.
