About the Game

Deep Synergies

Build a powerful deck of ushabtis, amulets, and spells. Ushabtis are your game tokens, each generating unique dice. Amulets stack passive effects that buff movement, decrease costs, or increase rewards. Spells are game-breaking abilities that let you control the board.

Spend dice to speed ushabti across the board or burn them to cast from your collection of spells. Personalize your deck, and choose your strategy: carefully avoid obstacles, skip past them, or blast them away with a spell. 

An Ancient Boardgame

Face challenges based on the ancient Egyptian boardgame Senet. Race baboons across the tiles, face off against enemy pharaohs, and complete unique temple challenges. 

The Book of the Dead

The art, gameplay, and mechanics are inspired by the Book of the Dead and ancient Egyptian mythology.
