## Description

Product Description               Imhotep. The legendary architect of the Egyptian monuments. His awe-inspiring structures and brutal tactics earned him divine status among ancient Egyptians. Can you match his ruthless determination to build the most revered monuments? To do this, you will need to transport stone blocks on ships from your quarry to different construction sites. But you alone do not choose where the ships go. Your opponents have monumental plans of their own and want to prevent your success. A fierce competition For the precious stone resources plays out. Only with the right strategy and a little luck can you succeed. In Imhotep, the players take on the roles of ancient Egyptian architects. Over six rounds, they try to transport their stone blocks to end up in the most valuable positions at five construction sites: pyramid, Obelisk, chamber tomb, temple, and market. But a player can only choose one of three actions in a turn: excavate a new stone block from the Quarry, load a block onto a ship, or move a ship to a construction site. From there, The massive stone blocks must be unloaded in order from bow to stern and placed on the sites in preset sequences. Depending on where the blocks end up, players earn different point values either immediately or at the end of the game. In each turn, you must weigh your options for getting your own stones into place and thwarting your opponents' Placement plans. You must get your blocks to the right places, in the right order, at the right time to be the greatest architect.

    Great game
  

*by L***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 April 2023*

Great game, easy to pick up and learn and really quick if you want to play something fast paced and you don't have much time

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
    Buen juego
  
  

*by L***O on Reviewed in Mexico on 25 December 2020*

Estética : los materiales están bien echos, los cubos están echos de un material similar a la madera ( se ve muy bien), la impresión es bonita, el cartón es de buena calidad. En estética le doy un 10/10.Caja y entrega : la entrega fue bastante rápida, a pesar de las fechas ( navidad y segunda ola de covid 19), me llegó 3 días después de pedirlo. Eso sí, la caja venía un poco golpeada de una esquina. Le doy un 8/10 por ese detalle. ( si eres alguien que quiere pulcros sus juegos, lo mejor es que lo pidas como regalo, así son más delicados).Juego : Un juego muy estretegico sin volverse aburrido a la larga.No contiene dados, así que la victoria del jugador depende meramente de su estrategia y de cómo uses las 4 opciones que te dan por turno ( aclaró que sólo se puede hacer 1 de esas opciones). Resumen:Es un juego bastante original ( no he visto un juego que se le asemeje), es de estrategia sin rozar a lo aburrido, invita a que todos lo puedan jugar, es rápido de aprender, y en general le doy un 9/10 ( solo porque : una vez que emsrcas la canoa, ya valió todo :p, solo puedes seguir jugando con las opciones que te quedan)

    Gioco semplice ma profondo
  
  

*by N***S on Reviewed in Italy on 10 March 2022*

Gioco che, nella sua semplicità, porta a fare i conti con strategie non banali ed in continuo divenire. Materiali tutto sommato semplici, ma gradevoli come i blocchi di pietra, costituiti da grossi cubetti di legno verniciato che è un piacere da avere in mano. Possibilità, entro certi limiti, di regolare il livello di complessità del gioco.
