RA

RA is an engaging auction and set - collection board game with an Ancient Egyptian theme. In each turn, players use bidding tiles (suns) to buy tile lots. Once a player runs out of suns, others keep going. This might lead to a situation where one player can bid on tiles without competition before the round ends. Tension rises as the round may finish before all players get their three lots for the epoch. Tiles offer immediate points, prevent negative points at the round's end, or give points after the final round. The game lasts three 'epochs' (rounds). It has a short learning curve, appealing to both new and experienced players with its fast - paced gameplay. From the box, it spans 1500 years of Egyptian history in under an hour! Players aim to expand power and fame through various means like influencing Pharaohs, building monuments, farming on the Nile, paying homage to Gods, and advancing culture. They can take risks for big rewards, all in the glory of the Sun God Ra!

To play RA, start by giving each player a set of bidding tiles (suns). In each turn, players use these suns to bid on tile lots. Keep in mind that once you run out of suns, you can't bid until the next epoch. Try to win three lots per epoch to score well. Some tiles give you points right away, some save you from negative points at the end of the round, and others give points after the final round. The game goes on for three epochs. Don't worry if you're new; it has a short learning curve. For experienced players, just enjoy the fast - moving action. After playing, keep the tiles and bidding pieces in a dry place to prevent damage. And that's it, have fun exploring 1500 years of Egyptian history in under an hour!
