About the game
Imagine being a faithful priest in Ancient Egypt, around 1323 BC. The young Pharaoh Tutankhamun has just passed away, and the atmosphere is tense: rumors suggest his death was anything but natural. As someone dedicated to ensuring the king reaches eternal life, you cannot allow rivals and pretenders to the throne to sabotage this sacred journey. Your mission is a race against time and your fellow players to deliver eight vital elements into the king's tomb.

But don't expect a peaceful stroll through the burial chambers! To fulfill your duty, you must raise an army of mummies. The game blends strategy with a touch of chaos, as you'll navigate a modular board, planning your pieces' movements while contending with the whims of the dice. And here's the catch: the path is fraught with danger, and other priests (your opponents) will do everything in their power to block your progress. Get ready to employ programmed movement tactics and, if necessary, use a bit of 'take that' to incinerate enemies blocking your way. If you can be the first to deliver all eight vital elements into the Tutan Tomb, glory is yours and the Pharaoh's soul is secured!

It is a dynamic game with a light weight that allows for quick sessions, yet it demands focus to avoid being trapped by opponents' zones of control. It's a blast for anyone who loves historical themes mixed with high interactivity and unexpected twists.
