About the game
What you do in a play session
If you're already playing Ankh: Gods of Egypt, you know that the struggle for cosmic dominance is no joke. But what if I told you that not all gods were born with the same level of power? In the world of Ankh, there are entities that, while not commanding the sun or the underworld, possess crucial talents to shift the tide of war. The 'Guardians Set' arrives precisely to fill this gap, bringing a group of Guardians and demons ready to serve the great gods—or to cause absolute chaos if they fall into the wrong hands.
This set is an expansion focused on adding strategic depth and variety to your sessions. Instead of just repeating the same dynamics, you now have new Guardians to choose from, each with unique and often quite aggressive abilities. Imagine having a terrifying demon by your side to protect your followers or to punish your opponents. The presence of these new characters directly alters how the board is contested, creating new interactions and combinations that can make every single game feel unique.
The set includes 11 beautifully detailed miniatures of figures such as Mafdet, Am-Heh, Pazuzu, Ammit, and Shezmu, along with 5 Guardian cards detailing their powers. This isn't just a 'toy pack'; it's a customization tool for your base game. By introducing these new elements, the game gains an extra layer of unpredictability. If you enjoy tailoring your strategy based on who is at the table, this set is the upgrade you've been waiting for to turn your divine battles into something even more epic and varied. Get ready to see the balance of power shift with a single move from one of these new guardians!
