Each round you draft dice from around the central obelisk and use them for a god's action or to produce resources, while keeping your balance in check for the goddess Maat.Gobgob's favourite bit: The obelisk's shadow. As the sun moves, each section of the board flips between sunny, shaded and dark, which decides whether a die is Pure, Tainted or completely off-limits. Grab too many Tainted dice and Maat will not be impressed.👥 1–4 players  |  ⏱ 60–120 min  |  🎂 Ages 14+📚 Dice Goblin Library game: borrow it at Dice Goblin.🎥 New to it? Watch how to play on YouTube
