The Sultan has issued a decree: Whoever can build the most amazing palace in the city of Sultaniya will be appointed Grand Vizier.
Become a character from One Thousand and One Nights and build graceful minarets, dazzling gates and soaring cupolas to catch the Sultan's eye and engrave your name in history.
Players will carefully select the best building tiles to erect the most impressive structures, scoring points for subsequent models and completing secret objectives.
Earn sapphires and use them to secure the services of the mighty Djinn, whose help will be invaluable in your quest to create the most amazing palace the city has ever seen.
Players start with a board, with a "triangle" of 3 tiles that is worth building, and must expand it to make the best palace (which earns the most VP).
There are separate stacks of tiles for each layer of the palace, color-coded (blue, red, green, and sky).
Besides the color-coded levels, some attributes must match, such as doors and columns.
To get tiles, players reveal tiles from a pile and display them in front of the pile (up to 3 can appear - the top of the pile is face up but cannot be taken) then choose a tile from the one of the tiles available in any color.
You try to choose a tile that will earn you points and/or gems.
Gems let you buy genies, which have special powers like building twice in one turn or moving a tile you previously placed.
Players are limited by the edges of the starting board, including bonus tiles (question marks).
You need to have at least one tile under you to build, and you can't make a hole in the palace, so things are somewhat constrained.
The tiles are double sided and can be flipped if you need the mirror image tile.
Each player board has attributes that score points, such as windows or plants.
You also have 2 hidden objectives/bonuses, which can be points to create a column of windows.
The game ends when someone builds their fifth sky tile.
The player who scores the most points is the winner.
