Our friends over at AEG have a lot cooking for this Summer and one of the new titles arriving is a deck building game entitled Valley of the Kings. The Tom Cleaver design takes place in ancient Egypt where two to four players portray nobles looking to collect artifacts in which to stock the most prestigious tomb by game’s end. Valley of the Kings hits FLGS shelves this June with an MSRP of $19.99.
From Alderac Entertainment Group:
In Valley of the Kings, 2-4 players are Egyptian nobles at the time of the pharaohs, preparing for their death and burial in the Valley of the Kings. In the Egyptian religion, when you die you can take it with you! Egyptians therefore stocked their tombs with food, shabti (statuettes of servants who will work for them in the afterlife), canopic jars (to preserve their organs), statues of the gods, household items, and amulets. You compete with the other players to accumulate the best artifacts for your tomb. At the end of the game, you score the artifacts stored there – the player with the most victory points wins!
