## Description
Hey everyone! Ready for a trip back to Ancient Egypt? In Tutankhamon, you and your friends take on the roles of priests and priestesses with a sacred mission: to fill the tomb of the Great King Tutankhamun with precious artifacts for his journey into the afterlife. Think of yourselves as artifact curators, navigating the Nile to collect the right items and complete sets to be offered to the pharaoh. The game features a modular board that changes with each playthrough, ensuring the Egyptian landscape is never the same. The open drafting mechanic means you need to keep an eye on what other players are grabbing while trying to secure what you need. The goal is to collect sets of artifacts, and whoever does the best job completing these sets purifies their spirit. The first to zero out their 'impurity' points becomes the High Priest of Egypt! This version introduces new elements, like powers from Egyptian gods to give you that extra boost, and an updated scoring system, including scarab rings and an adaptation for two-player games. It's a strategic yet accessible experience, perfect for those who enjoy a quick game with a historical theme and a touch of mythology.
