Ankh’or

Welcome to ankh’or, the second game from Space Cowboys 2-player line. Ankh’or takes place in ancient Egypt where players need to be savvy in the marketplace and a skilled Builder if they want to get ahead. Each turn, players either collect resource tokens, like fish, cloth, or bamboo, or they spend those tokens in the market To collect building tiles. Some tiles have special abilities, such as the warehouse that can store resource tokens or the scribe that grants players an immediate bonus turn. As tiles are acquired, players must place them in their growing structure. At the end of the game, they score points for grouping tiles of the same symbol and the same color. The player with the most points earns the favor of the gods.

Ankh’or is a quick-playing resource management game in which each player on their turn either collects three types of tokens (with an ankh being a supplemental resource) or buys a tile from a marketplace and adds this tile to their structure, trying to connect tiles of the same color or bearing the same scarab while doing so. By spending an ankh, you can shift tiles in the marketplace and change the cost and type of goods needed to purchase them.

Each player’s structure will have at most thirteen tiles, so don’t wait too long to start building!
