Ankh: Gods of Egypt review

Ankh: Gods of Egypt is a beautiful game with high-quality miniatures and artwork. The game mechanics are streamlined and non-random, which I appreciate as a player who enjoys strategic decision-making. However, the game is not for everyone; it requires a bit of time to learn the rules and strategies.

The game's focus on Egyptian mythology and the unique abilities of each god makes it a truly engaging experience. The "merge mechanic" where the two lowest-scoring gods combine forces is a unique and interesting aspect of the game, but some players have found it to be unbalanced. I personally don't mind it, but I can see how it could be a drawback for some.

While the game is visually stunning and well-made, it is a bit pricey. It is also worth noting that some players have complained about the size of the box and the lack of bags for organizing the pieces. Overall, Ankh: Gods of Egypt is a solid game for those who enjoy area control games with a focus on strategy and unique god abilities. If you're a fan of Egyptian mythology or games with a similar feel to Blood Rage, I recommend checking it out.
