Istanbul: Mocha & Baksheesh - A strategic expansion in search of new business opportunities

Enter the world of coffee beans in Istanbul: Mocha & Baksheesh, an expansion to the popular board game Istanbul. Set in the bustling bazaars of Istanbul, players take on the role of merchants who enter the coffee bean trade and build their fortunes. Merchants who previously traded precious textiles, spices, and fresh fruit seek new business opportunities and enter the world of coffee beans.

In this expansion, you can now enjoy more strategic game development by paying "Baksheesh" (tips) to bar patrons and guilds, in addition to the power of your assistants. While retaining the charm of the base game, elements that make interaction between players more active have been added.

New features added in the expansion

Coffee – the emergence of a new resource

The biggest feature of this expansion is the introduction of a new resource called "Coffee." Coffee can be used to pay for various benefits, and there is no limit to how much you can hold. By using coffee strategically, you can gain an advantage in the game.

4 new location tiles

The play area has been expanded from 16 tiles to 20 tiles, opening up new strategic possibilities.

• You can earn coffee by discarding roastery coins, goods, bonus cards, and guild cards.
• This is where you can get Guild Hall Coffee and one Guild Card.
• By paying coffee at the bar , you can perform a variety of actions, such as moving barriers, performing actions in adjacent locations, acquiring ability tiles, and acquiring rubies from other locations.
• Coffee Houses are important places where you can exchange coffee for rubies.

Adding strategic elements

• Barriers can be used to block other players' movement. Only the player who placed the barrier can pass through it, making it a powerful tool to thwart opponents' plans.
• Guild Cards are cards that provide powerful abilities, but the trade-off is that you cannot perform any other actions on the turn you use them. They are available in the Guild Hall.
• Coffee Trader A new trading partner who allows you to sell coffee for coins and goods.

Gameplay Changes

In the base game, finding the most efficient route was the key to victory, but in this expansion, it's even more important to take into account the actions of other players. Part of your strategy involves predicting and sometimes disrupting your opponents' moves while balancing the three resources of coins, goods, and coffee.

The goal of the game remains the same: to collect rubies, but there are now more ways to earn them. New ways to earn rubies have been opened up, such as exchanging them for coffee at coffee houses and performing special actions at taverns.

New elements, such as barrier placement, guild card usage, and coffee resource management, add dynamism to the game, allowing players to enjoy deeper strategies. This expansion will be a breath of fresh air for players who love the base game.
