About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to expand your epic battles in Ancient Egypt with this exciting addition to the Omen saga! 'Omen: Champions of the Nile' arrives to supercharge your strategies and bring even more variety to your games. This expansion is not a standalone game, so you'll need the base game 'Omen: A Reign of War' to dive headfirst into the new content. But rest assured, it's worth it! The big stars here are the 11 brand-new units arriving to bolster your armies. Each one brings unique abilities and strategies, allowing for new combinations and twists on the battlefield. Just imagine the possibilities of building an even more personalized deck and surprising your opponent! In addition to the units, the expansion also introduces 6 new structures. These constructions can be combined with structures from other Omen series games, adding extra flavor to your scoring strategy. At the end of the game, victory points are calculated based on the structures you managed to complete, so planning well where and when to build them is crucial. To make things easier for players, the pack includes two rule cards, ensuring you don't miss any details of the new mechanics. And to add that touch of luxury, a metal Favor token accompanies the expansion, adding a special charm to your components. If you're already a fan of the Omen universe and are looking for more depth and tactical options, 'Champions of the Nile' is a treat. It's time to summon new champions and solidify your reign on the banks of the Nile!
