"Egyptian"

2012 · 2-5 Players · ~90 min · Aggressive Area Control

Kemet is area control at its most aggressive and rewarding, a game that tells you to stop turtling and start fighting from the very first round. The power tile system gives every game a different strategic texture, and the teleportation mechanics keep the action flowing without tedious movement phases. It stumbles with its iconography for new players and occasionally devolves into pile-on-the-leader dynamics, but these are growing pains that fade with experience. For groups that want a combat-heavy strategy game that stays tight and competitive from start to finish, Kemet is one of the best in the genre.
