For hundreds of years the Golden Horn was a hard embattled harbour and marketplace at the Bosporus. In this family- and strategy game from Austrias leading publisher Piatnik the players dive into this time of sea-battles and wars, as Istanbul had to protect itself with heavy walls against aggressors. They sail from Venice (Italy) to Constantinople, witness pirate attacks or show themselves to be belligerent and fill their warehouses with precious goods.
