About this game
Place workers along the Nile River in sequential order: once you place downstream, you can never go back upstream. Build monuments, farm fields, feed workers, and earn the Pharaoh's favor along the river's path. The sequential placement constraint creates agonizing timing decisions: grab a great upstream spot now, or hope it is still available when your downstream needs are met. Sphinx cards provide hidden objective scoring. A worker placement euro with a uniquely restrictive spatial constraint that rewards forward planning.
