Die Mumien des Pharao

Find animals, sink mummies

The Pharao is back, albeit not as lively as before, but as a mummy among others in his pyramid. He and his mummy colleagues have a problem, their pet animals have escaped from the burial chamber; therefore, mummies roam the Valley of the Pyramids to find them, catch them and return to the burial chamber.

Sliding boards in the playing area show animals and secret passages; rift and plinth tiles with holes are placed on those boards; then you fill all empty spaces but one with pyramids. Finally, you place four mummies into the holes of the plinth tiles.

You reveal the top search card and move either a pyramid or a rift tile or a plinth tile - with or without mummy on it - to the free square: If the square uncovered by this move shows only sandstone or a hole, you can slide again; if you uncovered a secret passage, you may slide a complete row. If you revealed an animal not depicted on the card, your turn ends. If you found the correct animal, you take the card and your left neighbor implements the action on the back of the next search card - slide in the left-over board, refill plinth tiles with mummies or both. A mummy falling into a hole gives you a Pharao Seal. When all cards have been taken, you win with most points from search cards, Pharao seals and bonuses from sets of one seal per color. In the solo version, you take the search card out of play, if you did reveal a wrong animal.

Familiar, known and yet new - the double task of finding animals and sinking mummies introduces a completely new feeling to the game; the sliding boards as a chance element sometimes play havoc with your memory.
