Egizia: Shifting Sands is an updated version of the beloved strategy
game Egizia. Players travel down the Nile, placing boats as they go, to
collect resources that will help them construct some of Egypt's most
famous monuments. With new monuments to build, new cards to collect, and
a constantly shifting river, Egizia: Shifting Sands Edition is a
streamlined, modern update that both longtime fans and new players can
easily pick up and enjoy.
In Egizia, players must place their pawns following the course of the
Nile, moving northwards. In this way, each placement not only blocks the
opponents from choosing the same square (except monuments, where
multiple players are always allowed), but also forces the player to
place their remaining pawns only on the squares below the one they just
occupied.
When the placement phase is over, the workers of the players (which are
separate from the pawns) must be fed with the grain produced in the
fields. The production of each field is based on the floods of the Nile,
so some fields may not give grain each turn. If a player doesn't have
enough grain for all their workers, they must buy it with victory
points. After that, stones are received from the owned quarries and used
to build the monuments (if the right to do so was reserved earlier)
along with the workers.
In this new edition, players each get a chance to build across the
Colonnade, a new monument. The more columns you build, the better powers
you unlock to help you on the river. Perhaps once per turn you can place
boats on occupied river spaces or upstream, or gain an extra point each
time you place bricks in monuments. With randomized rewards from game to
game, the Colonnade is a dynamic new monument to shake up traditional
gameplay.
Below the Colonnade, where the graves once stood, lie the mysterious
statues — a new monument unlike anything else in Egizia. These tiny
build sites are cheaper than any other monument, but they hold the
potential for high reward if you fulfill their requirements. Players
must plan early as they can place only one brick in a statue per round,
and each level they build has more strenuous requirements for endgame
bonuses.
Egizia: Shifting Sands keeps all the painstaking risk/reward decisions
of the original Egizia and adds new depths of strategy, balance, and
gameplay for a fresh twist on a timeless classic.
