About the game

What you do in a play session

Glifos: More Symbols – Scarab and Cat arrives with an Egyptian flair that will make your games even more fun. The expansion adds two extra cards, the Cat and the Scarab, each with its unique hieroglyph. The setup is simple: deal the cards normally, mix them with the original deck, and play as usual. When the Scarab or Cat appears among the six open cards on the table, the special rule kicks in: you can only answer with the symbol that appeared, regardless of color or number. So, if the Scarab is in the indicated position and the question is about color, the only correct answer is “Scarab.” This ups the challenge and requires more attention to detail, keeping the memory and pattern‑recognition mechanics we love from the base game. The game remains cooperative, allowing 1‑5 players to team up to win together, or play solo in 10‑15 minutes of pure fun. With a weight of 1/5, Glifos: More Symbols – Scarab and Cat is light, quick, and perfect for those who enjoy mental challenges without fuss. If you love card games with memory mechanics and want something that fits easily into your repertoire, this expansion will be a guaranteed hit. Get ready to memorize, recognize patterns, and, of course, laugh as you try not to forget the Scarab’s color!
