Sultan’s Game enchants with a richly told narrative and striking visuals: 19 out of 20 story mentions glow positive, and every graphics review is laudatory. Yet the same players call the UI clunky, with 3 negative mentions out of 4.

What it's about: Survive a mad Sultan's reign in this brutal resource management RPG. Draw a card every seven days and complete its challenge. Make dreadful choices to stay alive: will you die a loyal servant, become a kingslayer, or call down the gods' judgement?
