About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a last-minute mission in ancient Egypt! The all-powerful Pharaoh Akhenaton almost forgot his beloved Nefertiti's wedding anniversary. With just two days to spare, he needs a flood of incredible gifts to make up for the blunder. And who will handle this delicate task? You and your fellow advisors! Your mission is to send servants to every corner of the kingdom, from Giza to Abu Simbel, to scout for the most dazzling and original objects. Each gift collected might please the queen and earn generous rewards from the Pharaoh. Nefertiti is a game that blends the excitement of set collection with the tension of auctions. You'll need strategy to send your servants to the right locations and cunning to bid for the best items before your rivals. Can you impress Nefertiti and become the Pharaoh's favorite advisor? A game with an engaging Egyptian theme, accessible mechanics, and a race against time to prove your worth. Perfect for those who enjoy a light challenge and a good dose of interaction.
