A bluffing worker-placement game where you secretly commit numbered chips face-down to contested spots across an Arabian-themed board, then reveal all at once to see who won each fight. Gather treasure at the bottom, trigger spells in the middle, and spend your loot buying artifacts at the top; most artifacts wins.
Who it's for
Players who love bluffing, reading the table, and the drama of a simultaneous reveal.
Not for you if…
You want clean, information-open strategy; heavy hidden bidding means guesswork, and a bad read can leave you with nothing to show for a whole round.
Vibe's take
A poker-faced tug of war; the face-down commit builds real tension and the simultaneous reveal delivers the payoff.
