Luxor
In Luxor, players move their adventurers through the temple, aiming to reach the tomb in the middle of the game board. The journey is filled with treasures, shortcuts, and challenges. Who will be the most successful adventurer?
Gameplay Overview
At the beginning, each player is dealt 5 cards, which must remain in their given order and cannot be rearranged. Players take turns in each round consisting of three actions:
- Play a Card: Choose either the leftmost or rightmost card from your hand to play.
Move one of your adventurers forward by the number shown on the card. Adventurers only move to tiles, skipping over empty spaces along the way. The goal is to move closer to the tomb while taking strategic actions along the way.
- Perform the Tile Action:
When an adventurer lands on a tile, you perform that tile’s action, if applicable:
- Treasure Tile: If enough of your adventurers are on the tile, you can collect it, earning points and keeping the tile to form sets of treasures (vase, statue, necklace) for additional points.
- Horus Tile: Gain a key (needed to enter the tomb) or a Horus card (special ability cards that offer powerful movement options).
- Osiris Tile: Acts as a catapult, instantly moving the adventurer forward a specified number of tiles.
- Temple Tile: Grants bonuses such as scarabs (victory points) or joker tiles (to complete treasure sets). Certain tiles, like tunnels, teleport adventurers to the next tunnel in play, creating shortcuts.
- Refill Your Hand: After completing the tile action, draw 1 card from the draw pile to refill your hand to five cards. The new card is placed in the middle of your hand.
At the start of the game, each player has 2 adventurers. Players can gain additional adventurers by crossing over Anubis statues for the first time, with the new adventurer placed at the start of the temple.
Game End and Final Scoring
The game ends when two adventurers reach the tomb. However, adventurers can only enter the tomb and claim the valuable sarcophagi if they have collected a key from Horus tiles (one key per adventurer). The round is completed, and the final scoring occurs.
The player with the most points at the end of the game is declared the winner!
