ABOUT SULTAN’S GAME

Sultan’s Game blends card mechanics, strategy, and resource management with a dark, narrative-driven story. Players are forced to play the Sultan’s twisted cards (Carnality, Extravagance, Conquest, and Bloodshed) to satisfy his cruel desires. Morality is never questioned: will you lose yourself in a world where lust and bloodshed intertwine, or try to seize your own fate from beneath the Sultan’s blade?

You have seven days to fulfill the demands of each card—or face execution. In a world of betrayal, power struggles, and madness, survival is never guaranteed. To escape alive, you’ll need to make impossible decisions along the way.

ABOUT THE GAME

This is a tale of love, death, and magic freely based on One Thousand and One Nights. You play as one of the powerful ministers of the mighty Sultan, a cruel king who treats his subjects like pawns in a deadly game for his own pleasure. Each week, depending on his mood, the Sultan will command you with one of four tasks: Carnality will require you to seek carnal pleasures; Extravagance compels you to spend lavishly; Conquer forces you into dangerous expeditions; and Bloodshed demands a human sacrifice. Fail any of them, and you will pay the price with your own life.

Sultan’s Game is a narrative-driven card-based resource management game with roguelike mechanics where players must make tough choices to complete the Sultan’s desires. The action takes place in a city, where players allocate resources to various locations —such as a palace, noble district, brothel, bookstore, public bathhouse, a dark alley in the slums, wilderness, ancient ruins, etc— during each turn. However, you can use your wits to either support the Sultan, and gain rewards, or plot to assassinate him. Playing cards will let you allocate resources and allies to complete each task, but it’s up to you to decide what to do with your power: will you use it to dispose of your enemies or to pursue forbidden romances? After each game, players will get points that will enhance their resources for their next run: use them wisely and who knows if the cycle of bloodshed can end.

KEY FEATURES

• Kill, abuse, and perform other hideous acts to fulfil the Sultan’s wishes.
• Use card-based mechanics to manage resources to complete each task. Sultan’s Game will force players to explore the grey areas to survive, thrive, and, who knows, end the Sultan’s rule.
• Accumulate wealth, intelligence, and equipment to complete NPC quests to recruit allies, build your influence, and become a power broker in the Sultan’s court.
• Master the Sultan’s tasks to grow stronger and challenge his authoritarian rule. Players will earn points at the end of each run to enhance their abilities for their following round, leading to different endings.
