About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for an archaeological adventure in ancient Egypt with Tutankhamen! In this fast-paced and engaging game, you and your friends become explorers searching for precious artifacts. The board is a winding trail made up of 69 artifact tiles, randomly arranged each game. Your mission? Choose the right tiles, one at a time, without being able to go back. The twist is that there are 15 different artifact sets, and when the last piece of a set is taken, whoever has the largest collection of that item scores more, with second place getting half the points. But beware! There are also tie-breaker tiles and those that allow you to steal artifacts from opponents, adding an extra layer of strategy and interaction. Tutankhamen is a game that shines through its simplicity and the depth it hides. It's the kind of game you learn in minutes but makes you think hard about every move. Ideal for the whole family, from younger players to seasoned board gamers, as it's accessible yet rewards planning. With vibrant Egyptian-themed art, the game transports you to the desert in search of lost treasures. It's a great choice for those who enjoy set collection games with a touch of abstract strategy and a quick pace.
