Luxor (2001)

About this game

Players try to excavate the most valuable mummies from the pyramids by placing tiles into the vertical board. Each match allows the player to manuver their explorers around the pillars. Getting 3 scarabs in front of a pillar allows the excavation of a mummy. Mummies excavated later in a pillar are more valuable than the earlier ones.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.4/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 9 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
