Ra

Invoke the power of the sun god and take on the role of a line of ancient Egyptian kings ruling over vast and prosperous kingdoms. In Ra, one of Reiner Knizia’s most celebrated masterpieces, you must work to improve the culture of Egypt and the strength of your royal lineage while staying true to the will of the gods. As you navigate through different epochs of Egyptian history, you will find that time is your most limited resource, requiring you to wisely decide how to spend your days to ensure a place in the Field of Reeds in the afterlife.

This new edition from 25th Century Games breathes fresh life into a tabletop classic with stunningly revised artwork and high-quality deluxe components. At its heart, Ra is a tense auction and set-collection game where players bid for various tiles using limited sun discs. Each tile represents a different aspect of Egyptian life, from monuments and agriculture to pharaohs and advancements in technology or religion. Balancing when to bid and when to hold back is essential, as the gods can be fickle and the end of an epoch can arrive unexpectedly when Ra tiles are drawn.

Designed for 2-5 players, Ra offers a perfect blend of risk management and strategic depth that has made it a staple of board game collections for decades. Whether you are focusing on building magnificent monuments that endure through time or pursuing immediate gains through river flooding and agricultural growth, every decision carries weight. Prove your ultimate loyalty to the traditions of the Nile and see if your legacy is worthy of the gods' favour.
