## Description
Get ready for a fierce competition in Ancient Egypt with Imhotep: The Duel! Forget the crowds, this is a two-player showdown: you and your opponent, embodying none other than the royal couple Nefertiti and Akhenaten. The mission? Unload the most valuable tiles from the six boats arriving at the harbor, but with a twist: every move is a strategic play!

The modular board challenges you every game, changing the scenery and demanding new tactics. You'll use the worker placement mechanic to secure your spots and plan your next steps. While trying to grab the best boat tiles for yourself, don't forget to build your four monuments. After all, these are what will earn you the fame points leading to victory.

It's a game of influence and majority, where every piece placed counts. You need to keep an eye on what your opponent is doing, anticipate their moves, and perhaps even disrupt their plans a little. Set collection also comes into play, as certain combinations of tiles can be worth gold (or rather, fame points!). With quick games and easy-to-learn rules, Imhotep: The Duel is perfect for those seeking a tactical challenge for two, without complication and with plenty of replayability. A great pick for couples or friends who enjoy a good strategic battle.
