Sultans of Wind (2016)

About this game

Description from the publisher: In the Kingdom of Al Bisat, four teams of flying carpet riders are preparing for the annual contest held by the Sultan. Each player must guide their team through an ever-changing maze of clouds, which are controlled by the Sultan's djinn! The first team to guide their carpets safely across the game board and land on the opposing palace wins. In more detail, in Sultans of Wind players must program their actions each turn, choosing amongst eight different wind tokens. By using the wind's power, players can manipulate the board to their benefit. If they are skillful enough, maybe they can catch the djinn flying through the clouds, in which case the djinn must grant them a wish!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
