Description

Nile is a quick and easy to learn card game that's all about growing and harvesting resources along the ancient Nile river. With simple rules, 2 to 5 players can jump into a 30-minute game, drafting cards and managing their hands to collect the right resources at the right time. The game features 5 different resource types, each represented by its own suit, as well as specialty cards that show multiple resources. As players take turns, a flood card is drawn, indicating which resources can be harvested, adding an element of excitement and unpredictability to the game. With its unique blend of commodity speculation, hand management, and card drafting, Nile is a fun and engaging game that's perfect for fans of card games and ancient history.
