Full publisher description

An official expansion for the game Istanbul, published in the European games magazine Spielbox, issue 3/14. The Kebab Shop replaces the Fountain from the original game. For placing the Kebab Shop, the same rules as for the Fountain apply. When you visit the Kebab Shop, you may either gather your Assistants just like the original Fountain, or you may pay 2 lira to move your family member from any space (except the police station) to perform an action at another space of your choice. The Kebab Shop has to be placed as one of the inner spaces of the bazaar. Note: this expansion is produced on card stock rather than the thick cardboard used for the original game tiles.
