About this game
Roll a pool of dice, then draft groups of matching values from a tower display to place goods in the souks of 16th-century Isfahan. Yspahan turns dice drafting into a strategic puzzle: higher values place goods in more lucrative neighborhoods, but lower values offer different tactical advantages. Send goods via caravan for reliable scoring, or risk keeping them in the souks where the Supervisor might confiscate them. A colorful Euro with a unique dice-tower mechanism.
