About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for an adventure in the depths of a pharaoh's tomb with Monsters of Egypt! You and your friends are adventurers searching for the legendary Pharaoh's Crystal, but beware: the place is full of monsters, traps, and hidden treasures. The game is cooperative but with a sneaky twist – if your character dies, you switch sides and start controlling the tomb's creatures against the other players! The double-sided board offers two different tombs to explore, with walls you can blast through, ladders to climb, and chests to open. Every turn brings new surprises, whether it's a monster appearing or a treasure being revealed. There's even an escape mode where the ceiling starts collapsing, and you must run for your lives! Who will escape with the crystal?

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

5 questions
How many players is ideal?
Works best with 3-5. With 6 it can get chaotic, and with 2 you lose some of the betrayal fun.
Is it hard to learn?
No, the rules are straightforward. The complexity is more about strategy than mechanics.
Does it have replay value?
Yes! The tombs are different, items appear randomly, and dynamics change as players become monsters.
What's the difference between game modes?
Exploration Mode is more relaxed for learning. Escape Mode turns it into a race against time as the ceiling collapses!
Is it kid-friendly?
Depends on the kid! It has monsters and betrayal but nothing too scary. Ages 10+ should enjoy it.
