Ra
Invoke the power of the sun god! Take on the role of a line of ancient Egyptian kings, ruling over your vast kingdoms. You will work to improve the culture of Egypt and the strength of your royal lineage, all while following the will of the gods. Time is limited, so you must wisely decide how to spend your days. In the end, will you have pleased the gods enough to move on to the Field of Reeds in the afterlife?
Camel Up
In Camel Up, up to eight players bet on five racing camels, trying to suss out which ones will place first and second in a quick race around a pyramid. The earlier you place your bet, the more you can win — should you guess correctly, of course. Camels don't run neatly; however, sometimes they land on top of another one and are carried toward the finish line.
Imhotep: The Duel
The competition of the Builders continues in Imhotep: the Duel! In this game, players take on the roles of Nefertiti and Akhenaten, one of Egypt's most famous royal couples. Game pieces must be cleverly placed so players can unload the most valuable tiles from the six boats. While this is happening, each player builds their own four monuments to gain as many fame points as possible.
