About the game
What you do in a play session
The game features a cool deck-building system where you gradually build your strategy, much like a growing pyramid. Each round, you'll select cards from an open offer and add them to your deck, thinking about how they'll help you gather more treasures. It's a game that makes you consider the best card combinations and how to use your hand efficiently. The ultimate objective is straightforward: whoever has the most valuable tomb wins eternal glory (and the game!).
What's neat is that Valley of the Kings: Afterlife is a standalone game, but if you combine it with the original Valley of the Kings, you can expand the player count to up to six. Plus, for those who enjoy playing solo, there's a solo mode that works really well. Just be mindful of the moderate language dependency; you might need a cheat sheet or translated cards to fully enjoy it. It's a medium-weight game, perfect for those who appreciate strategy with a touch of Egyptian mythology and aren't afraid of managing their hand and building their own deck.
