RA Sun God Edition (Include Traders expansion)

Ra: Sun God Edition – Deluxe Board Game with Traders Expansion

Step into ancient Egypt as a line of powerful pharaohs competing to leave the greatest legacy in history. In Ra: Sun God Edition, you’ll bid for tiles that represent culture, monuments, the Nile, and powerful events, all while managing timing and risk in a tense auction system.

This deluxe Sun God Edition of Reiner Knizia’s classic auction game features upgraded components and includes the Traders Expansion right in the box for even more strategies and replayability.

Game Overview

In Ra: Sun God Edition, players take turns drawing and auctioning tiles that represent different aspects of Egyptian civilization, such as:

• Culture and civilization
• Temples and religion
• The Nile and agriculture
• Monuments and bricks
• Special events that can help or harm you

Your goal is to collect the best sets of tiles over three epochs to earn the most points, using your limited bidding stones wisely—every auction counts.

Gameplay

• Auction-based gameplay: Simple rules, deep decision-making about when to bid and when to pass.
• Set collection: Different tile types score in different ways, forcing you to adapt to what appears.
• Risk and timing: Calling on Ra accelerates the end of an epoch; you must decide whether to wait for better tiles or secure what’s available now.
