By Reina Knizia The latest strategy game from Reiner Knizia is set in ancient Egypt. This game is for players who loved his previous strategy games and have been waiting for another great strategy game from the good doctor. Players try to outdo each other in building pyramids and growing crops, but must watch out for floods and droughts along the nile. We've played this a few times, and it continues to surprise us with the degree of strategy you can use in it. The more you play, the more you see new options and different strategies opening up. Well worth a go, and the game looks good on the table too!
