Fertility

Players act as regional governors in Ancient Egypt, placing domino-style Valley tiles on a central board to collect resources such as alabaster, bovines, papyrus, grapes and wheat. On each turn the collected resources are immediately allocated: spend some to build new District tiles on a personal metropolis board, then place remaining resources into Shops to score Debens. Unused resources at the end of the turn are lost and stocked resources cannot be moved until game end. Play runs through nine rounds; fully supplied Shops generate income and the player with the most Debens wins.
