Description

Ra: The Dice Game is a fun and strategic board game that takes the core elements of the original Ra game and turns them into a thrilling dice-rolling experience. Designed by Reiner Knizia, this 2009 game is easy to learn and can be played by 2 to 4 players in just 45 minutes. Players roll five dice, each with identical sides but different colors, and can reroll them up to two times to claim squares on the central board, such as civilizations, monuments, and Nile spaces. The goal is to score points by collecting these squares, while also keeping an eye on the Ra figure, which determines the remaining time in each of the three epochs. With no necessary in-game text, this game is accessible to everyone, and the simple rules make it a great introduction to dice games. By strategically utilizing their dice rolls, players can outscore their opponents and win the game, making Ra: The Dice Game a great choice for fans of ancient-themed games and dice games alike.
