Description
In Sneferu: Builders of the Pyramids, you step into the role of an Egyptian architect tasked with building a pyramid worthy of the great pharaoh Sneferu. After two failed attempts, Sneferu is running out of time and patience, and it's up to you to create a pyramid that will honor his legacy. With the promise of gold and eternal fame on the line, you'll need to strategically gather and place blocks made from various materials, including gold, granite, limestone, white limestone, and basalt, to build the highest pyramid possible. As you travel up the Nile, visiting famous quarries and managing your resources, you'll need to make tough decisions about when to invest time or food in the right blocks. The game is easy to learn, but it requires a mix of strategic thinking and tactical planning to outmaneuver your opponents. With a playtime of just 40 to 60 minutes, Sneferu is a family-friendly abstract game that's perfect for a fun night in with friends or family. Up to four players can join in, and with variable player powers and a unique set collection mechanic, each game is sure to be different. The rules are simple, but the gameplay is engaging and challenging, making it a great choice for players of all skill levels. As you build your pyramid, you'll need to balance your use of time and food, all while trying to stay ahead of your opponents. The game's track movement mechanic adds an extra layer of excitement, as you move your boat up and down the Nile, visiting quarries and collecting resources along the way. With its unique blend of grid coverage, racing, and set collection, Sneferu: Builders of the Pyramids is a game that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end. Will you be the architect who builds the tallest pyramid, or will you manage to complete your pyramid in record time? With Sneferu, the choice is yours, and the reward is well worth the challenge.
