Description:


Everyone knows of the pyramids on the Nile - eternal monuments of a powerful and beautiful culture, that can still take our breath away. The pharaohs choose their sites, build their pyramids, and thank Amun Re and the other Gods for their bounty. Each player wants, as pharaoh, to build the most pyramids. To accomplish this, he must first acquire a province, where he can trade and farm. With his profits, he can buy new provinces and building stones to erect pyramids. For all his actions, the player must make clever use of his power cards. And always offer appropriate sacrifices to Amun Re. But, will it ever be enough? Whatever happens, a player must always keep his eyes on his goal: the building of eternal pyramids. For when a player loses sight of his goal, he will surely lose the game!

A new game every time. I had alot of fun playing it, a nice quick, simple game that tests your choice of strategy. One for the collection for sure

Amun-Re rating: 3/5 stars Good, but not particularly memorable

While this game has nothing particularly wrong with it, it doesn't make a lasting impression. Nobody I've played it with has ever asked to play it again, and I certainly haven't tried to find someone who would play it with me again. Although I don't remember the game too well, I remember thinking that I didn't feel like I had enough control over what was happening in the game. I felt that the results were not really linked to how well I strategized--there was not really much room for strategizing. I would recommend this game to someone having a real interest in the "subject matter" of the game--ancient egypt. This might be interesting as a novelty to such a person, but not really as an intense game.
