Tutankhamun

About the game

What is Tutankhamun?

The Great King Tutankhamun has passed, and arrangements are being made to fill his Tomb with Artifacts that will travel with him to the afterlife. Prepare to collect your offerings and cleanse your spirit as you take on the role of priests and priestesses, traveling down the Nile River to gather Artifacts for the great King’s tomb. Along the way, enchanted idols from the mighty Egyptian Gods may assist you in your journey. Your primary goal will be to locate parts of Artifact sets. When these sets are completed, they are placed inside King Tut’s tomb to help the preparations for his burial. The priests who collected the most parts of the set will cleanse a portion of their spirit as their reward. If you are the first player to completely cleanse your spirit (indicated by reducing your points to zero), you will so impress the new Pharaoh that he appoints you to be the next High Priest of Egypt. Will you meet the challenge and earn the new Pharaoh’s favor to become the most powerful priest in the land? Tutankhamun features familiar gameplay from the earlier versions, while adding new Egyptian god powers and implementing a modified scoring system with new Scarab Rings and a new two-player scoring change.
