Fantastic Game! Dice Game Next?

This is an excellent port of the Istanbul 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 Istanbul Dice Game, which my group actually prefers to regular Istanbul? If not, we'd love the Istanbul expansions. Thank you for this great app, typical of the work, energy and passion of Acram Digital.

Great port of a great game!

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, Istanbul 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.

Great Port

Very very well done port of a fun Euro style game. The tutorial is a real help to newcomers, and the AI is balanced. If you start on easy, you will soon learn not only the mechanics of the game, but strategy. I really enjoy the achievements as well. Oh how I wish they would add the expansions as in app purchases...buying that would be a no brainer. Well worth the $6.99 cost, especially considering that the physical game costs so much more, and you can p,ay without worrying with getting a game group up!

My favorite board game app

The app is true to the game. The sounds and graphics only enhance the gameplay. I love that there is zero setup and I’m able to play one of my favorite games in seconds. This has one of the best multiplayer options for online play with friends. I hope the expansions are in the app’s future.

Great strategy game with steep learning curve but well worth it

Great game, 5 stars but just have an issue with the online invite system to play with friends. I’ve started playing Istanbul with some friends online but we seeing issues with the invitation system. There are 5 of us and we are all friends online in the app. When someone sets up a game and invites the others we all seem to get an iPhone notification for the invite but after clicking that and going into the game there is often no game invite showing in the lobby so cannot join the game. When we look at alerts (the bell icon) we can see an alert about being invited to a game but there is no way to join. Sometimes it works but usually with 5 people at least one person doesn’t get the invite properly. Please help as otherwise we love the game

Great game, good app

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.

Problem with AI

I was playing a match with 3 easy AIs on order and two of the AI at some point in the match went to the top left of the map and moved up and down each turn. They did this even though they had no assistants and couldn’t pickup any. I hope you fix this, otherwise it is a great game.

A little tough on smaller screen sizes.

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.

Love the board game and app is just as fun

We have board game night with our friends and first started playing this game with our friends. It’s one of our top favorite games we’ve played so far and we’ve played our fair share of them. The app is just as fun but I wish they would add the mocha and letter expansion!! So much more fun!

Great app, no bugs or crashes

This has been an excellent app version of the board game. We play it frequently as it is much faster than setting up the actual board. I have never been any issues with bugs or crashes. My only request is that they would add the expansions to the app.

Description

The official digital adaptation of one of the best board games in history – Istanbul. Istanbul is, without a doubt, one of the best board games to have ever been published. The long list of its awards and honors speaks for itself: 2015 Nederlandse Spellenprijs Best Expert Game Nominee 2014 Swiss Gamers Award Winner 2014 Meeples' Choice Nominee 2014 Kennerspiel des Jahres Winner 2014 International Gamers Award - General Strategy: Multi-player Nominee 2014 Hra roku Nominee 2014 Gouden Ludo Winner 2014 Golden Geek Board Game of the Year Nominee 2014 Golden Geek Best Strategy Board Game Nominee 2014 Golden Geek Best Family Board Game Nominee 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.

We maintained the authentic board game feeling with the convenience you can expect from an electronic device. So what is the game about? Can you be the first merchant to collect a certain number of rubies? • Run, collect and trade goods across the bazaar • Take control over your assistants • Increase your wheelbarrow capacity • Acquire special abilities to increase the advantage over your competitors • Buy rubies or trade goods for them In Istanbul, you lead a group of one merchant and his four assistants through 16 locations in the bazaar. In each such a location, you can carry out a specific action. 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. If you want to use that assistant again later, your merchant must return to that location to pick him up. Thus, you must plan ahead carefully to avoid being left with no assistants and thus unable to do anything… What can you expect? • Official Istanbul game - 100% original rules • Adaptation of TOP 100 board game of all time by BGG ranking • Play with AI, with friends or both • Great artwork by Andreas Resch • Languages: English, German, Dutch, Polish, French, Korean, Japanese, Chinese Simplified, Spanish • Pass and play mode • Cross-platform online multiplayer with synchronous and asynchronous modes • Opponents' last moves replay • 3 levels of difficulty AIs with individual strategies • Preset or random generated game boards • Atmospheric music and sounds • Unique, original board game experience • Intuitive gameplay • Colorblind mode • Over 70 achievements • iPhone X support
