But the problem is that everyone’s eyeing up those boats and those monuments, too! Can you out-thwart your rivals? Or will your stones end up in the ‘wrong’ locations? Imhotep is the kind of game where you need a back-up plan or two up your sleeve! The key to sailing boats is timing, when your stones sit in the optimal position(s). Will you sail to the ever-growing pyramid for immediate points? Will you help build the burial chamber, aiming for big end-game pattern-building points? Will you get into an area majority battle for the obelisks? Or will you head to the market, where set collection rewards and rule-breaking benefits await? Off come the stones, in front-to-back order, and they contribute towards the monument. Or, if boats house a minimum-required amount of stone, you can sail said boat to a monument of your choice. You can load one of your stones onto a vacant spot in one of the boats. Players start with their own coloured stone in their supply.
The round set-up is modular, with an array of empty boats entering the action. Games of Imhotep last six rounds, and the action is short and snappy.
BUILDERS OF EGYPT PHARAOH GAME SERIES
Your aim? Contribute your building materials towards a series of ancient monuments for big points. Can you emulate the famous Egyptian architect, Imhotep? (You might have heard the name from the 1999 film The Mummy, but in this game, Imhotep isn’t the Bad Guy!) This is a fantastic family-weight game by KOSMOS Games for 2-4 players.
