Read the full game description
Across three eras, place workers and offerings around ancient Memphis to develop knowledge in the House of Life, send boats along the Nile, trade, honor Ptah, embalm the dead, and contribute to pyramids and sphinxes. Each connected system rewards specialization but competes for the same people and resources, while progress toward Aaru changes how earthly prestige is converted at the end of the game. Build an efficient community without neglecting the afterlife journey that ultimately defines its legacy.
