Sobek: 2 Players

Players are rival merchants supplying a booming market beside the Nile while a temple is being built. Each turn a player chooses one of three actions: take a market tile, sell a set of matching goods, or play a character for its special ability. Taking a tile adds it to the hand and moves the Ankh pawn to a new market line, shaping the tiles available to the opponent. Selling requires at least three identical goods and scores endgame points based on quantity and scarabs. Characters provide one-off effects to manipulate tiles or scoring. Play focuses on timing and anticipating which options each move will leave for the other player.
