Sultaniya*
The Sultan has issued a decree: the one who can build the most impressive palace in the city of Sultaniya will be made the Grand Vizier. Players become characters from the tales of 1001 Nights, creating graceful minarets, vibrant gates, and soaring domes to capture the Sultan's attention and etch their name in history. Players carefully choose the best building tiles to construct remarkable structures while earning points for following patterns and fulfilling secret objectives.
Players start with a board featuring a "triangle" built with three tiles and must expand it to create the most valuable palace. They reveal tiles from stacks and select from available options, aiming for tiles that provide points or gems. Gems can be used to acquire genies with special abilities, such as building twice in one turn. The game ends when a player builds their fifth sky field, and the player with the most points wins.
