Imhotep

Players act as ancient Egyptian builders transporting and laying stone blocks to construct five monumental sites over six rounds. On a turn, a player chooses one of four actions: take new stones, load stones onto a boat, send a boat to a monument to unload, or play an action card. Boats carry wooden stones along shared routes, so timing and sequence matter as other players load, send, and contest access to monuments. Scoring depends on placements at each monument and on specific round-end bonuses, rewarding coordinated movement, resource management, and well-timed deliveries.
