About the game

What you do in a play session

In 'The Sultan's Wishes', you step into the opulent and intriguing world of the Sultan of Cockapoo, who is on the hunt for a new Grand Vizier. The competition for the position is fierce, and you and your opponents are the candidates. To prove your worth, you'll need to demonstrate not only the ability to cater to the Sultan's whims but also to expertly manage the local market. Each fulfilled wish yields precious Gems, which can be exchanged for valuable Wares. Keep an eye on the Extra Tasks as well, which can secure additional rewards and put you ahead of the competition. The game blends worker placement, hand management, and memory elements, all seasoned with a touch of betting and bluffing. You'll need to be clever to plan your actions, anticipate others' moves, and, of course, remember what's at stake. While all candidates are rewarded, only one will be chosen. Prepare for a charming and strategic contest, where the player with the highest score at the end will be the big winner and the Sultan's new right-hand person. It's an easy-to-learn game that offers enough depth to keep everyone engaged.
