Ankh Gods of Egypt
For centuries; Egypt had been a polytheistic society. But now; the civilization is moving to a monotheistic religion. The gods are fighting among themselves for the veneration of the populace. In Ankh; players take on the role of the gods of Ancient Egypt. They’ll fight for the adoration of the populace; building up their followers; dedicating monuments; recruit monsters their side; and divide the desert in order to establish their dominance. In the end; only one will remain.
-Unique Action Mechanic - Players perform two actions per turn; picking from the action board; but can only do a second action lower down the board than their first.
-Fight Over Followers - Players face off against one another for the hearts of the population. However; partway through; two gods may merge and become one; possibly giving them an edge.
-Taken From Egyptian Lore - All of the gods and monsters in the game were modeled from Egyptian lore; and their abilities created to match what powers they had according to legend.
