About the game
Get ready to relive the glory of Ancient Egypt with Kemet: Rise of the Gods, an expansion that supercharges the already fantastic Kemet: Blood and Sand! If you thought Kemet was epic before, just wait until you see what this gem brings to the table. To start, we have the highly anticipated 6-player mode, perfect for turning your game night into a divine battlefield. And for those who enjoy a solo challenge, the 'Gods' mode promises to test your skills against the Egyptian pantheon itself.

This expansion doesn't hold back on new features: two new tile colors, Amber and Amethyst, arrive to add more strategy and tactical options to the game. Additionally, various other modules, brand-new content, and quality-of-life improvements have been included to make the experience even smoother and more immersive. The original designers, Jacques Bariot and Guillaume Montiage, have delved deep to bring out the best of Kemet, even drawing inspiration from the first edition's expansions to create these new tile colors.

With a new rulebook that combines the rules of the base game and all the expansion modules, plus 6 new player aids, Kemet: Rise of the Gods ensures that you and your friends (or just you!) can dive headfirst into divine battles without losing your way. Prepare your armies, summon the gods, and show who rules Egypt! It's the chance to expand your Kemet with more options, more players, and more challenges.
