Valley of the Kings: Premium Edition

Players are Egyptian nobles preparing tombs for the afterlife by acquiring goods and artifacts. Cards are arranged in a pyramid; players buy cards from the base, causing the pyramid to “crumble” and reveal new offers, and reset each round with fresh selections. Deckbuilding and hand-management drive play: cards provide effects in use, but only cards that players remove from their decks and place in their tombs score points. Timing decisions—whether to use a card’s ability or entomb it for points—shape strategy. This edition combines content from prior releases, adds support for five to six players, solo rules, dividers, new pharaoh ability cards, and upgraded tarot-sized components.
