Description

Get ready to travel back in time to ancient Egypt with Sakkara, a strategic board game designed by Manfred Grabmeier. In this 2-player game, you and your opponent will compete to build the most impressive pyramid, and the first one to finish wins. With a playtime of just 40 minutes, Sakkara is the perfect game for a quick yet engaging gaming session. The rules are easy to learn, making it accessible to new players, but don't be fooled - the game requires strategic thinking and planning to outmaneuver your opponent. As you take turns sending your workers to collect hieroglyph-tiles from the modular board, you'll need to manage your hand carefully to build your pyramid or execute special actions. These tiles hold the key to your success, allowing you to build, move extra spaces, or even steal tiles from your opponent. With its unique blend of hand management, set collection, and tile placement mechanics, Sakkara offers a thrilling gaming experience that will keep you on the edge of your seat. First published in 2007, Sakkara has stood the test of time, and its abstract strategy and ancient theme continue to captivate players to this day.
