Sultan

About this board game

Sultan is a 2007 board game for 2–5 players, with games lasting about 45 minutes. Each player becomes a candidate competing to win the hand of the sultan’s only daughter.

The sultan has set a demanding test for the many hopeful candidates. He gives each of them the same amount of gold, then sends them to the city bazaars to seek out beautiful and costly jewels.

Success depends on presenting the sultan with the most expensive collection of jewels. Players must use their equal starting fortune as skillfully as possible while attending the various bazaars and acquiring the treasures that will make their collection stand out.

• Compete as candidates for the sultan’s daughter.
• Begin with the same amount of gold as every rival.
• Visit city bazaars to acquire beautiful, valuable jewels.
• Win by presenting the most expensive collection.

The test is more than a search for attractive treasures: it is the sultan’s way of judging whether a candidate is capable of managing his fortune. Under the stern sultan’s watch, every collection becomes evidence of financial skill and judgment.

With its focused theme of wealth, jewels, and royal approval, Sultan offers a straightforward contest for players seeking the hand of the princess. The candidate who creates the most valuable collection proves worthy of the sultan’s trust—and wins the ultimate prize.
