Ra
is an auction game set in ancient Egypt, spanning 1500 years of
Egyptian history. The players strive for power by collecting tiles
that represent various aspects of economic, spiritual, and technological
growth. The players acquire the tiles by bidding for them in auctions.
The currency for these auctions is tokens given to players by
Ra. Using these limited tokens, players must decide when to bid
and how much to get the tiles they want.
Ra
is fast game, it's clever, simple to play and will appeal to gamers
and non-gamer's and will likely be played several times in one
sitting. There
is an element of luck in the game, but there are a lot of tough
decisions to make. A beautifully made game that is both intriguing
and fun, if you enjoy auction games with a lot of player interaction
this is one of the best. And if you are a fan of Knizia's games,
it's a must buy.
