Travel back to ancient Egypt in the game of Tekhenu!

Tekhenu is a strategy game based in the lands of ancient Egypt. The game is divided into six sections, each associated with an Egyptian god: Horus, Ra, Hathor, Bastet, Thoth, and Osiris. In the centre stands an impressive obelisk (Tekhenu) that casts its shadow onto different parts of the board. As the game progresses, the sun's rotation alters which sections are sunny, shaded, or dark. That in turn tells the players what action they can perform and with what effects. Players earn victory points based on the workshops, quarries, buildings, statues and pillars they have built, as well as the happiness of their people and production capacity of their resources. However, players must also keep a healthy amount of resources around to sustain their population or they suffer negative consequences. The game supports 1 to 4 players and takes 60 to 120 minutes to play, which makes it perfect for the main game of game night.
