Sphinx (1999)

About this game

The Pharaoh has built a very mysterious pyramid with long corridors full of secret doors leading to the treasure chamber, which is guarded by three mighty sphinxes. Without the right sphinx cards you cannot reveal their secrets and cannot get past them. Listen to the clues from the mummies, collect the sphinx cards as you pass through the corridors and conquer the sphinxes...only then can you get to the legendary treasure! OBJECT OF THE GAME - The player who reaches the treasure room in the center of the game board and conquers the three sphinx with the correct Sphinx cards wins the game. ---From the rulebook---

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.5/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
