Everyone knows of the pyramids on the Nile - eternal monuments of a powerful and beautiful culture, that can still take our breath away. The pharaohs choose their sites, build their pyramids, and thank Amun Re and the other Gods for their bounty.

Each player wants, as pharaoh, to build the most pyramids. To accomplish this, he must first acquire a province, where he can trade and farm. With his profits, he can buy new provinces and building stones to erect pyramids. For all his actions, the player must make clever use of his power cards. And always offer appropriate sacrifices to Amun Re. But, will it ever be enough? Whatever happens, a player must always keep his eyes on his goal: the building of eternal pyramids. For when a player loses sight of his goal, he will surely lose the game!
