Istanbul: Letters and Seals Expansion ... Setup, Rules and Review by the Crabby Dice

[@thecrabbydice]

RULE::: VERY IMPORTANT , for the auction house its 1 1 time go around, you cant bid multiple times (aka raise your bid) as pointed out: the companion DOES count as a merchant for the purposes of encounters with other player's

Correction: the companion DOES count as a merchant for the purposes of encounters with other player's. So in your example at 4:35 the yellow player would have to pay 2 lira. Same for if the Companion wants to go to a space with another player's merchant (or companion).

cool thanks for the heads up

Hey, great review! Just a small correction, at the Auction house, everyone gets exactly 1 bid and then you place a final bid or pass. It doesn't keep going around and around until everyone passes, everyone but the active player gets a single bid.

The best video ever!! Thank you so much for this video, it was so informative and easy and quick to watch too . Really appreciate it

[@thecrabbydice]

You are so welcome!

You totally forgot to talk about the catacombs tile.

[@thecrabbydice]

its only used in the epic variant with both expansions. I seriously recommend never playing that way and hence i didnt mention it.

[@sewaprolo]

@@thecrabbydice is it too daunting to play with all the expansions? Also, I'm not hating or anything, the video was excellent, just pointed out that little omission.

[@thecrabbydice]

@@sewaprolo not daunting ... 2 problems .. 1 the map is way to big at that point and its hard to get around certain places ... 2 imo the 2 expansions dont mesh well and dont compliment each other so i dont see the point
