Then, you will draw a new card which is placed in the middle of your hand. This is the key! On your turn, you must play the left card in your hand or the right card in your hand. Examples of these Horus cards include move 1-5 spaces, move all of your playing pieces two spaces, move one space and collect a treasure for one less cost, etc.Īll players start the game with a hand of five basic cards.

To me, he is a very solid designer from Goa, one of my all-time favorite mid-weight games, to the light family game of Karuba, a light family game that has earned a permanent place in the collection. I was extremely excited to try this latest game from Rudiger Dorn.
