I really like your reviews, because you keep the focus on the important facts, come to the point straight forward and add a little bit of emotion. Keep up the good work! ;)

Played this again last night and it never gets old. 2 player has so much strategy. I might look at the expansion.

I've really been enjoying this one, and I reckon it'll win the Spiel des Jahres. I liked Karuba but soon got a bit tired of it. Codenames only really shines with big groups. This one is much more scaleable, playing as well with 2 players as it does with 4. It's quick and attractive. Yeah, I'm pretty impressed with Imhotep.

Aaaaaaaand I just bought it. On sale on Amazon for $25! Looks like a GREAT two player game for those times you don't have 3 or 4.

It looks like they've figured out how to turn a "cube pushing" game into something a bit more thematic! Seems interesting.

Thank you. 04:11 - I believe that it should be "2-3-1-3" (As at the bottom level filling order) And not "2-1-3-3"

This is the best gateway game into Euro's IMO.

WOW! This game looks awesome! This is an insta-buy for me! Thanks for the review, Tom!

The core mechanism seems pretty unique. I like it.

Great review. Going on my already long wish list. Curious of why it did get an "Into My Collection" or does a rating of "Excellent" mean you will keep it?

Played yesterday. Liked it. Simple and fun.

Reminded me my one try to play Egizia. Didn't like it, seemed too complicated. This one (at least the basic version) looks more streamlined. And the advanced variant (sides) can give more meat to heavy players. Looks nice.

Last week I bought Imhotep Duel, and yesterday I picked this one up as well.

Groovy. Already added this to my shopping list. Don't think it has a chance to win against the other games, but I love those cubes dammit! :D

Looks like we have three decent to good nominees this year.

I breathed a sigh of relief, I also have high expectations for this game and I glad you approve.

Just saw the nominees and was so happy that this just came out!! 😱🙌🏼

does anyone know where Tom got those green storage boxes with the branches on his shelf?

I actually think the game is an illusion. Below is a sincere account of my experience. I have played 1 game of 4 players. 2 of my 3 opponents were board game vetarans. I only took the mine and placing actions and only used the sail action when I couldnt mine or place. my opponents were trying to make the best move and i wasnt even trying. to my surprise I ended up winning by just sheerly out resourcing them. There is being light, and then there is not even being a game. This falls into the latter category for me. If you own the game, try employing the strategy laid out above, you will probably win if your opponent is taking sail actions cause the sail action is a non action. 2/10, since I have played better casual games and better serious games that can call themselves game

This game is a hit at our home. Glad you love it too.

On to my wishlist it goes. Great review, Tom!

Cleopatra and the Society of Architects meets Puerto Rico?

Imhotep is still great! + Expansion!!

This should have gotten the Spiel, not the boring and dull Codenames.

Yep, this game is really good. Love it.

Tom, your enthusiasm is terrible for my wallet.

Thanks Tom! Did you play it with not so young players. My daughters are a "bit" older than yours. :)

looks fun!

tom, you're looking great! this game looks awesome too haha

Game looks great! Now I want to play Amun Re again.

wow i saw this game in a window the other day it stood out straight away as himotep is actaly my second name im guessing they chose the name as he created the first step pyramids

Not into your collection Tom???

Anyone think this has similarities to sushi go!?

I say it beats codenames to win.

Is that cover a jojo reference

I think people can easily go broke watching your videos

Not "into my collection".

Looks like graphic design from 2001.

damn this game looks so boring.

I think you should start by saying the aim of the game.
