Luxor

Players guide teams of adventurers through a shifting temple pathway toward the central tomb, racing to be the first to get two explorers into the burial chamber while collecting treasures along the way. Gameplay uses a fixed-order hand of five cards; each turn a player discards either the leftmost or rightmost card to move one adventurer forward a number of tiles. Landing on tiles triggers different effects: collecting treasure tiles toward set-scoring vases, statues, and necklaces; gaining keys or special Horus cards; using Osiris catapults to leap forward; or claiming temple bonuses like scarabs, jokers, and tunnel shortcuts. New adventurers enter when earlier ones pass Anubis statues, and players must hold keys to enter the tomb. The game ends after two explorers reach the tomb and final scoring determines the winner.
