Description
In Pharaon, you're one of Pharaoh's children, preparing for your journey to the Afterlife by gaining the support of nobles and artisans, building a grand burial chamber, and making offerings to the Gods. The game is all about resource management and worker placement, with a unique Wheel of Actions at its center. This wheel dictates which resources are needed to access different areas of the board, and its rotation forces you to plan ahead and anticipate which resources you'll need next. As you take turns performing one of five actions, you'll need to pay the access cost and action cost, using resources to get prestige points and new resources for future turns. With a limited number of spots available, you'll need to keep an eye on your opponents and their resources, all while trying to fulfill the demands of the Gods to gain their support and extra points. With a playtime of 30 to 75 minutes, Pharaon is a game of strategy and anticipation that's perfect for 1 to 5 players.
