  • Great game. Should be in every collection.
Style: RA Base Game
Love this game. Very well balanced. New version is easy to learn with tile placement. Pieces are quality. Would recommend for any friend or family group as it's just a different style game that has some fun push pull strategic decisions!

  • A five star game
Style: RA Base Game
The game has great reviews so I was cautiously confident it would be a win for our group. First, the production quality is top notch. I’m probably overly sensitive to bad components and feel like it can really drag a good game down a level. No worries with this game. Few are better. We learned the game quickly, but not the strategy. A sign of a good game to me. After several plays now we are all getting a feel but still working on the little nuances. It feels like replayability will be good. The auction is central but not mean IMO due to the one bid and done rule Great game, recommend highly. ... show more

  • Great game requires thought
Style: RA Base Game
This is a fun game! It’s a little difficult to learn but not crazy hard you need to think. The game and pieces are sturdy and well made. It is a tad pricey but so worth it. Definitely fun for a group! We learned pretty quickly how to play it.

  • Quick to learn, different every game
Style: RA Base Game
This game is fairly easy to learn but every game will be different. Really fun game, you need to be strategic and take some risks. The more players you have, the more dynamic it will be. But we have fun just playing with two people and it's definitely set up to work with only two players if needed. The game pieces are fun with nice designs. ... show more

  • *The* auction game.
Style: RA Base Game
There is a reason this game is a classic. Good quality components, though I suppose the bag could be a bit larger. Still, this is a fantastic game that would respectably stand on any enthusiast's shelf.

  • By far the best edition of a classic
Style: RA Base Game
"Ra" is one of famed boardgame designer Reiner Knizia's most famous games. It's like you're playing an ancient Egyptian venture capitalist or hedge fund manager. You have to decide where to place your bids, taking into consideration what other players are doing and your own funds. Lots of depth and psychology, but simple rules. A classic for reason, revered by even the most experienced boardgamers. I think 3 players is the sweet spot, 4-5 is great, and 2 is passable but not ideal. I've owned two other editions, and this one is by far the best. Why? A couple of reasons. (1) Ra was never a particularly complicated game, but for new players, it can be tricky to keep track of the scoring rules without some kind of player aid during the game. Some previous editions put the scoring rules on the board, but that's not a great solution because not everyone can see it easily. This new edition comes with a fantastic player aid that explains all the scoring rules. It's got a lot of symbols, but it serves its purpose once you learn the lingo (takes maybe 5-10 minutes). (2) The art is phenomenal. It's vibrant! The other editions emulated the style of "discovered Egyptian artifacts," ie, drab and brown. This one feels like you're experiencing some quality Egyptian art. (3) The tiles are chunky and are VERY easy to read. With some of the old editions, it was hard to tell if a tile was a Nile or a Flood, for example. That's solved here (even for color blind players) because each tile has a clear written symbol up top. By the way, I own both the STANDARD and "Deluxe" pharaoh edition of this game (the deluxe is only on 25th Century Games' site right now, and is selling out fast). I think both are great. You absolutely can't go wrong with the standard edition. The tiles are chunky, and the money tokens are actually better (because although they are cardboard and not metal, they are colored by value ,so they're easier to sort). Great game! ... show more

  • Fun, well packaged, replayable!
Style: RA Base Game
A super-fun game, package complete and comprehensive. It's a medium weight game, so play results may vary based on the inclination of your players. We enjoy it time and time again.
