Alderac Entertainment Group has announced two new board game releases for summer: Pagoda and Istanbul.
Pagoda, designed by Arve D. Fühler, casts players in the role of architects out to impress the Emperor of China by building the most extravagant pagodas possible in the short time before he visits.

The game is for two players, ages 10 and up, and plays in 30- 45 minutes. MSRP has not been announced.
Istanbul, designed by Rudiger Dorn (Goa, Traders of Genoa, Arkadia), is a resource management game where two to five players compete as merchants making deals in the bazaar district of Istanbul, then using their assistants to swiftly transport goods from the warehouses to their destinations and return for another load.

The box contains 16 place tiles, 5 wheelbarrows, 15 wheelbarrow extensions, 26 bonus cards, 16 mosque tiles, 10 demand tiles, coins, 5 merchants, 25 assistants, 5 family members, 20 good indicators, 4 mail indicators, 5 overviews, 32 rubies, 7 stickers, a governor, a smuggler, 2 six-sided dice, a starting player marker and a rulebook.
