Ankh - Die Götter Ägyptes
Optisch macht es mit den Minis, eher Maxis, echt was her.
Es war zwar nicht so, wie erwartet, aber doch sehr gut. Keine Würfelorgien, sondern ein sehr taktisches Spiel, bei dem man seine Züge gut durchdenken muss. Die Regeln sind leicht verständlich & man kommt schnell rein.

I haven’t worn this since high school. It was my mother’s when she was a teenager, too, making it well over 50 yrs old. Should I start wearing it again? I do wish it were in silver, though… #Sandman #Endless #Death #Dream #ring #ankh #gaiman @neilhimself

Papyrus is a plant (cyperus papyrus) which once grew in abundance, primarily in the wilds of the Egyptian Delta but also elsewhere in the Nile River Valley, but is now quite rare. Papyrus buds opened from a horizontal root growing in shallow fresh water and the deeply saturated Delta mud.

I recently got the chance to play Ankh for the first time and the game pieces, art, theme - all so beautiful. I’m not sure if this game is for me though. I chose Bastet for my first play and I wouldn’t recommend that choice. I hope my 2nd play as a different god changes my “meh” feeling on the game. #ankh #boardgames

Chaz, shredding poker under the very intense scrutiny of a cat:
"Oh, Mac! Would you like some pork? Here you go... What now, are you Ankh-sting for some Morpork? Ah, if only you could see what I did there..."

Wordplay is wasted on him, alas. He hasn't read the books.
