Let’s Play Istanbul!! @Phoenix Comics & Games!
About the event
*The hustle and bustle of the bazaar district of Istanbul: merchants and their assistants are hurrying through the narrow alleys attempting to be more successful than their competitors. Good organization is key: wheelbarrows have* *to be filled with goods at the warehouses and then swiftly transported by the assistants to the various destinations while you focus on the next deal. Once there the assistants are paid in rubies before rushing off for more goods!*
*Istanbul* is a medium-light complexity grid movement and route-building game with a variable board setup that also includes elements of pickup-and-deliver, worker placement, and some chance. *New players are welcome, and the host is happy to teach if you haven't played before.*
2 - 5 players 90 minutes expected play time, depending on turnout and player familiarity. [BGG Link](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/251219/istanbul-big-box) [17-min How-to (](https://youtu.be/00YbrFbhqow)*[How 2 Play](https://youtu.be/00YbrFbhqow)*[)](https://youtu.be/00YbrFbhqow)
A few important details:
• This event is scheduled to start at 1:00 PM PLEASE be on time! If you would like to bring a guest please message me. • It's Cap Hill, so parking can be a challenge. Please factor traffic & parking into your commute and if you will be late post in messages or the Discord. Phoenix Comics & Games is about a block from several bus lines, the First Hill Streetcar (Broadway & Denny), & the Capitol Hill light rail station. • If you need to cancel *please* do so as soon as you know. People on the waitlist and playing that day will appreciate it! Signing up for this event means other people are counting on you to attend; board games have both a minimum and a maximum player count, so with limited seats available, I want to be sure that those seats actually have people in them. Last-minute cancellations (less than *24 hours*), no-shows, and late arrivals (30+ minutes) without good reason will be marked as *no-show* for the event and will be automatically moved to the waitlist if one forms for any and all future events they join which are hosted by me and other select hosts! • *SUPPORT THE VENUE! -* Purchasing something isn't a requirement, but it's nice to do since we're using the space. Please support the business if you can! • I open signups on Wednesday, 3 days before pressing the "announce" button here on Meetup; if you want to have the opportunity to claim a seat early, you can join the [SBG Discord](https://discord.gg/uu5RKdhGWN), where I'll post to let users there know as soon as RSVPs open as well as updates and posting polls for future meetups!
