Time to Tut


Rachel's next pick was Tutankhamen. This is a clever little game. You make a path consisting of Egyptian treasures. On your turn, you move as many spaces along the path as you wish, picking up treasure as you go. You have to balance jumping way ahead to collect sets of treasures, with hanging back so you don't skip over potential goodies. The rules seem tricky at first, like most games, but once you get the hang of it, it's great brain-busting fun.

The 3-player game of Tutankhamen starred Selena, Rachel, and Chris.

When an entire set is collected, the person with the most, and second most, of that set gets to give away coins in tribute. The first to get rid of the 26 coins is the winner!

Here's how we got rid of our coins...

Selena did a great job of positioning herself in an unstoppable situation at the end.

It really was a close game, but indisputably... Selena wins!
