Sobek
Grab goods, play characters or sell sets in an Egyptian market, but the best grabs pile corruption on you.
Who it's for
Players wanting a quick, tactical set-collection game with a nagging risk-reward hook.
Not for you if…
You want a heavy strategic game or a theme that goes beyond a pleasant Egyptian coat of paint.
Vibe's take
A brisk, tactical market game where every greedy grab tempts you with corruption you may pay for later.

About this game
Bruno Cathala's brisk market game set beside the temple of Sobek in ancient Egypt. Each turn you grab a goods card, play a character with a special power, or sell a matching set for profit. Snatching the best cards heaps corruption on you, though, and too much of it bites into your final score.
