In Kemet, players each deploy the troops of an Egyptian tribe and use the mystical powers of the gods of ancient Egypt – along with their powerful armies – to score points in glorious battles or through invasion of rich territories. A game is typically played to 8 or 10 victory points, which may be accrued through winning attacks, controlling temples, controlling fully-developed pyramids, sacrificing to the gods, and wielding particular magical powers.

The conquest for the land of Kemet takes place over two phases: Day and Night. During the day, choose an action amongst the nine possible choices provided by your player mat and perform it immediately. Once every player has taken five actions, night falls, with players gathering Prayer Points from their temples, drawing Divine Intervention cards, and determining the turn order before the start of the new day.

As the game progresses, they can use Prayer Points to acquire power tiles. Some of these enroll magical creatures and have them join their troops. In addition to intimidating enemies, these creatures provide special powers!

Detailed miniature components represent the combat units and the supernatural creatures that are summoned to enhance them. Combat is resolved through cards chosen from a diminishing six-card hand and enhanced by bonuses.

One of the best combat games

Having points primarily by attacking and controlling certain regions, players are less enclined to "turtle in" and keeps the game going.

Fantastic

This may be an older game but it still stands up as an amazing area control game. The combination of the tech-tree power tiles and aggressive combat system is fantastic and creates a wonderful arc to the game. This is best played at higher player counts, 4 or 5. 3 is okay but 2 not so much. I would highly recommend using the v1.5 of the rules as it cleans up a few of the rough edges.

Great game

Kemet is great when you want to kick your friends' butts in am exciting and fast paced way. It's the best area control game and I love the monsters on the board.
