Eye of Horus (2002)

About this game

Be the player who collects the most cards in this ancient game of matching and mathematics. Fish from the "pool" using cards in your hand - by either matching cards in the pool or adding their values to equal the sum of your fishing card. If you have the "Eye of Horus" card, you can take all of the cards in the pool. With beautifully illustrated cards based on images from ancient papyrus, Eye of Horus is a great strategy game for older players and a great educational (math) game for younger ones.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 8.
• Rules load. At 1.3/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 7 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
