Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Is Tekhenu: Time of Seth a standalone game?
No, it's an expansion! You'll need the base game Tekhenu: Obelisk of the Sun to play with this addition. Think of it as a powerful upgrade to your Egyptian experience.
What are the main new features this expansion brings?
It adds a new conquest board, new dice for recruiting soldiers and priests, and artifact cards that open up fresh strategies. The idea is to expand Egypt's power through war and influence.
Does the expansion significantly change the game's complexity?
Yes, somewhat! With the new conquest mechanics and artifacts, the game gains more layers of decision-making and planning. If you've mastered the base game, you'll love the extra challenge.
How many players can play with this expansion?
The expansion maintains the 1 to 4 player count of the base game, but it introduces advanced rules specifically designed to enhance the two-player experience, making duels even more engaging.
Is the theme of war and conquest too heavy?
The game introduces a more military aspect with Seth, the god of conflict, but the mechanics are still euro-style. This means you manage resources and actions to 'conquer,' without it being a traditional wargame. It's more about strategy and scoring.
Are the components of good quality?
Considering the base game is already known for its high-quality production, it's expected that the expansion follows the same standard, with dice and a new board that integrate well with existing materials.
Who is this expansion best suited for?
It's perfect for players who already love Tekhenu: Obelisk of the Sun and want to deepen the experience, adding more interaction, complexity, and a new strategic focus on expanding the Egyptian empire.
