About the Game
Sultan's Game is a card-driven story sim where a weekly draw sets a dark, Arabian Nights-style challenge for your vizier.
Sultan's Game is a single-player blend of card-driven resource management, simulation, role-playing and story, developed by Double Cross and published by 2P Games. You play a minister serving a cruel and capricious sultan who forces you into a deadly game. Each week you draw one of four special cards, and each card sets a task: the Lust card pushes you toward pleasures of the bedchamber, the Extravagance card asks you to spend lavishly, the Conquest card sends you into danger, and the Slaughter card demands you sacrifice a human life. Fail the challenge and you lose your head.
The core loop is turn-based resource management. You gather money, intelligence, equipment and personal strength, complete quest lines for different NPCs, recruit them as allies, and build your influence inside the court. Allies, resources and objectives are all handled as cards, so nearly every decision comes down to how you allocate what you have. The order in which the sultan's cards appear changes from run to run, so each playthrough can feel quite different. Points earned in every run, whether you win or lose, carry into the next attempt and unlock stronger allies and equipment.
The setting is an Arabian Nights-inspired story full of intrigue, betrayal, love and loyalty. You can serve as a flatterer to the tyrant, plot his downfall, build a quiet life with someone you love, or answer the call of dark forces. Different strategies lead to different endings, and many routes can reach the same ending through different means. The store page stresses that the game is not a power fantasy: cruelty brings retaliation, and even a loving spouse may leave if you become too monstrous.

Who It Is (and Is Not) For
Recommended For
Players who enjoy dark, morally tangled stories and the tension of resource management will likely find plenty to like here. If you enjoy experimenting with different builds and seeing how one choice ripples into a different ending, the replay appeal is strong. Fans of card-based decision games will feel at home with the weekly draw structure.
Not Recommended For
Players who want a straightforward power fantasy or a light, family-friendly experience should look elsewhere, since the game is built around cruelty and its consequences. Those who dislike heavy adult themes or prefer fast, action-driven gameplay may find the pace and content a poor match.
What the Steam Reviews Say
Sultan's Game holds a Steam review label of Very Positive, with 94% of its reviews positive. That is a strong result, and it rests on tens of thousands of reviews, so the score reflects a large sample rather than a handful of opinions.
Steam calculates its review labels from the ratio of positive to negative reviews across the whole game, so a Very Positive label at this scale suggests most players who review it are satisfied with the experience. Review scores are one signal rather than a guarantee, so it is worth reading a few reviews on the store page to see whether the dark tone and card structure suit your taste. Smaller review counts would be less reliable, but that is not the situation here.

All prices here are Taiwan Steam store prices in NT$. The current price is NT$ 408, which matches the regular price, so the game is not on sale at the moment. The highest price we have recorded is also NT$ 408.
The lowest price we have recorded is NT$ 326, seen on August 20, 2026, which was the first day in our record. Our record shows the game is discounted often, with the deepest cut at 20 percent. Because the current price sits at the top of the range we have recorded, it is not a record low and not a bargain by that measure.
Our price record is still short, so this verdict is tentative. If you can wait, wishlisting the game and watching for a discount is the sensible move given how often it has been reduced. If you want it right away, you would be paying the full regular price with no discount applied.
