Description
Nominally a game based on Egyptian History, but in fact the theme
could fit most any theme you care to graft on. The players compete in a
series of auction to gain the tiles of varying types, (Pharoahs, Gods, Gold,
Nile, Civilisation and Monuments), which are needed to score victory points.

Comments
To my mind, this is Reiner Knizia's best game. Who cares about the
theme, when the game is this good. There is an extremely clever auction
mechanism and the fact that not all the tiles score every time providesa
good balance between short and long term planning. As of this moment I think
it is the only one of his games, that I would never refuse a game of.
