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.
