RA & Write

In RA & Write you build your own civilisation in ancient Egypt. This game grew out of the classic RA by designer Reiner Knizia, but now in the form of a flip-and-write. You fill in boxes on your score sheet and slowly watch your empire grow. The atmosphere and the artwork match the new edition of the board game nicely. You play the game over three rounds, which are called Kingdoms: the Old, the Middle and the New Kingdom. In each round you work on different parts of your civilisation by crossing off spaces on your sheet. As soon as three Ra cards are face up, the round stops right away and you count the points. Every choice matters, because you want to make your empire as strong as possible. After the third Kingdom the final score is settled. Whoever collects the most points wins and may call themselves ruler. You play with one to four players, so an evening alone at the table works too. Expect about three quarters of an hour full of choices, tension and that good feeling as your sheet fills up more and more.
