About the game
What you do in a play session
You know that kind of upgrade that turns your gaming table into a cinematic scene? Tomb of Wonders is exactly that for Ankh: Gods of Egypt. This box isn't just a standard expansion; it's the ultimate bundle gathering all the stretch goals from the Kickstarter campaign. If you're looking to elevate both the visual and strategic level of your divine dispute, this is where it's at.
Visually, the game gets a massive overhaul. Forget simple tokens; we're talking 3D action markers, temples, obelisks, and pyramids that pop off the board, along with deluxe central and devotion boards. The immersion is drastically increased with plastic tokens for conflicts, the sun, the underworld, and followers, making game management much more tactile and intuitive.
But it's not just 'eye candy.' The content adds new layers of gameplay with the addition of two powerful new gods: Ptah and Sobek, each with their own warriors, priests, and specific components. To make the matches even more dynamic, the box includes 14 exclusive Guardians (such as Bes, Bennu, and Medjed), bringing new abilities and challenges to the battlefield. It's the perfect addition for those who already love the base game and want to expand the war for control of Egypt with more tactical options and a visual presentation worthy of a museum. Get ready to transform your table into a mythological battlefield where aesthetics and strategy go hand in hand.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Do I need the base game to use this box?
Yes! Tomb of Wonders is an expansion and upgrade; you need Ankh: Gods of Egypt to play.
What's new in terms of gameplay?
Beyond the deluxe components, you get two new gods (Ptah and Sobek) and 14 new exclusive Guardians.
Do the 3D components change the rules?
Most are visual upgrades (like the pyramids and obelisks), but the new gods and guardians introduce new abilities and strategies.
Is it hard to set up or organize?
Since there are many small pieces and miniatures, initial organization takes some patience, but the plastic quality makes identification easier.
Is it worth it if I already own the base game?
If you love the theme and want the 'definitive' version with the best possible aesthetics, absolutely.
