Amun Re

Amun Re 

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. The players first bid to control a province which will bring resources. Employing farmers to work the land will earn more gold, with which power cards, building stones and other provinces may be acquired. For all his actions, the player must make clever use of his power cards, and make appropriate sacrifices to Amun Re, which may be rewarded. A players must always keep his eyes on his goal of the building of the eternal pyramids or risk falling behind in points. This game features an auction/bidding system  which adds to the challenges the players face.
