Get ready to navigate the banks of the Nile! In Egizia, you step into the shoes of a master builder in Ancient Egypt, striving for eternal fame by erecting grand monuments for the Pharaoh. The goal is straightforward: the player who scores the most points by building the Sphinx, the Obelisk, the Temple, and the Pyramid wins. But don't think it's just about placing workers; there's a crucial twist that changes everything.

The game spans 5 rounds, and the worker placement mechanic has a special flavor: you must place your boats following the river's course, always moving north (from the top to the bottom of the board). This means that by choosing an action, you automatically block all the options left behind. Planning is everything! On the right bank, you handle the logistics: hiring labor, improving your trade capabilities, influencing the river floods, or reserving your right to build the monuments.

On the left bank, luck and strategy blend with card drafting. Some cards provide immediate benefits and are discarded, while others, such as stone quarries and cultivable fields, stay with you until the end of the game. But be careful: having a large workforce is great for building, but they must be fed. If the grain harvest (which depends on the Nile's floods) is insufficient, you'll have to pay for food using your precious victory points. At the end, in addition to the constructions, Sphinx cards can provide a final boost to your score. It's a tense resource management game where every move on the river can be the difference between eternal glory and starvation!
