Favor of the Pharaoh

Rules in English In Favor of the Pharaoh, players roll dice and collect tiles to gain the Pharaoh's favor.

Each turn, a player rolls the dice he is entitled to roll based on the tiles he has before him (players start off with 3 red dice). He may modify these dice based on tiles and/or tokens he has acquired, and then must lock at least one of these dice into his pyramid. He continues to do this until all his dice are locked and then he may take one of the tiles on display if he has satisfied the condition for the tile (having 1,2,3,4 or having all evens, etc.).

There are 3 types of tiles. Yellow tiles generally provide more dice. Blue tiles grant players powers that allow them to manipulate dice. Red tiles are one-time use tiles that are super powerful and have a range of effects. Some tiles provide scarab tokens, some of which allow a player to increase the pip value of a die and others of which allow a player to re-roll a single die.

The end-game begins when one player locks in 7 dice of the same value. This player gains the "Queen" tile. Then, a final roll off takes place. Each other player gets to roll his dice and try to out-roll the player who triggered the end game. Rolling more same-sided dice or rolling the same number of same-sided dice, but of a higher value is considered "out-rolling." If this happens, the player who triggered the end of the game gets one final chance to try to win back the Pharaoh's favor.
