3.Istanbul: Digital Edition
Price: $19.99 $9.99
Istanbul is, without a doubt, one of the best board games to have ever been published and at this price, you would be foolish not to add it to your Nintendo Switch collection.
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…
