Kemet is one of those games that i probably would have liked a lot more if i'd played the original when it came out. There's some cool stuff in here, but this style of game isn't my favourite anymore. Still, cool powers and giant monsters do elevate into the "very good" category. And if i gave out silver medals for games it would get one. I definitely see why people love it and will play it again. But it's not on my list of "OMG MUST PLAY AGAIN NOW" games.

It’s my favorite competitive game if it is the original version with the Ta-Seti tiles and extra battle cards. The design in the new version seems to fix some of the tiles and rules however the art doesn’t do it as much for me
Will you be reviewing Cyclades and Inis in the future?
So may I ask you what game is a “OMG really need to play it again”? 😊
Also curious! Looking for a good game with a lot of player interaction @@chaldean7043
"The best thing about this game is..." - waiting for that phrase, and the closing clip/joke! 😀
one of the first games I ever got and still in my collection all these years later. Still holds ups despite it being relatively old
With the expansions?
Egypt trivia: that kind of curved sword is called a khopesh.
Egypt trivia 2: Some of the pyramids took over 200 years to build, with small towns existing for the soul purpose of housing and feeding the workers.
Egypt trivia 3: The movement of the stones was mostly done by boat. The Egyptians flooded areas to help move the large stones closer to the build from the river/sea. They were then often moved by pouring water in front of them, to help make it easier to push. Documented in Egyptian paintings!
Sorry saw this info on a page debunking that the pyramids were aliens and needed to share! Though, if this game is anything to go by, it was done by giant snakes, scorpions and elephants, duh!
We have the original printing and love its simplicity and fun confrontation. Have often wanted to try is siblings, INIS and Cyclades.
Really love Kemet and all your reviews. The game is tight and tense with many options. My current favourite Egypt themed game is Ankh. Despite the overload of plastic it really does have that rare mix of overbloat balanced with strong strategic choices. Also really like Cyclades and the bidding mechanic.
I dont know wht to get :( Ankh or Kemet(blood and sand )
First time i played was a 4 player game, after second round every one played easily.
I play a lot of multiplayer solo, so any game where I need to play a secret combat card against myself doesn't work very well. That aside, I know another reviewer who seems to love this game. Seems like it's for miniature-happy gamers. There are aspects that look fun, but I'd be Ke-meh about it even without the first issue I mentioned.
Couple of mistakes in this, I think:
- you can't move between matching ports. There's two kinds - military ports (red) can only be moved from. Trade ports (blue) can be moved from but also to. The arrows on each show what's allowed. The move shown (from military, to military) is illegal.
- battle victory points are only awarded for an attacker victory. Defender victories don't score victory points (everyone gets extra veteran tokens instead, which can be spent in the night phase on prayer points, new troops or DI cards)
Correct if I'm wrong, but I think in the new version, defenders get victory points for winning fights too
Yep, looks like we got the port rule wrong. What a weird rule. As for the Victory point for battles, i guess this is more a case of ambiguity through brevity than an error as i was showing an attacker getting the point. And due to time code left out the veteran tokens entirely.
@@thomashughes7336 No, they definitely don't - there's a power tile (Defensive Victory) that lets them, but not normally. Two veteran tokens (rather than one) is the bonus for a defensive victory normally, plus denying your opponent a point.
@@3MBG The ports are a nice addition which weren't in the base game that allow much greater mobility once units are away from a pyramid and can't teleport any more. Landing troops directly outside a city would be too powerful, though, hence the one-way ports.
Fair about battles - my ears just pricked up when you said "the winner gets a victory point."
Cheers for the port correction. And yeah, one of the tricky things with the format is what i leave out. As its almost always something. And the shorter you make an explanation the easier exceptions are to miss and ambiguity creeps in. I could have changed the line to "and if the attacker wins, they get a point"
I've been very tempted to buy the older version second hand for half the price of the new version. That said I do own Cyclades (also 2nd hand), which has dice rolls in battles and some reason that just draws me more at the moment.
Dice offer variability and swings. You don't get a "300 greeks hold the line" moment in games with deterministic combat
Really like this game and must say that of the board game minis that I have painted I am most proud of these.
Btw were you blocking blood markers/kills with shields? Cause that ain't right.
Rule 3.5.4 part 2 says that you do. Unless i'm wildly misreading it.
@@3MBG You are correct. Its been a while since I've played and I guess I forgot about the black unblockable damage and also had in my head the fact that you could win the battle while also losing all of your troops. Still love how my minis turned out.😄
I would like to try Galilean Moons if I could but i can’t get hold of it in the Uk.
Yeah, not sure if it will get a reprint.
I don't know if the Mezo piramid building is more readable than dice with numbers
I didnt find it an issue.
What is the difference between the two types of harbor?
3 Minute Board Games! I'd love to see a list on board games that are 10+ years old but have aged really well. I'm sure your busy, but would love to see both of your opinions on this.
Something i've thought of doing was creating my own personal Hall of Fame. Where games are only suitable for entry after 10 years. Start with a class of 20 and then add 5 a year or something. Its an idea i have for next year when my wee lass heads off to kindergarten during the day and i have a bit more time for longer content.
@@3MBG Awesome idea, can't wait to see your takes. Take all the time you need.
I do like and own Kemet but I absolutely adore Inis, definitely my favourite looks like dudes on a map wargame but kinda isnt really game (See also Scythe). I do really want to try Cyclades though, I initially rejected it and bought Kemet instead due to the dice based combat but think I may have made the wrong decision.
Have you played Inis? Similar vein but looks more eurogamey. Very intriguing
No sorry. There is also Cyclades, they are the matagot area control trilogy
@@3MBG Cyclades is awesome. My personal metric for how good a game is, is how long it takes players to learn the rules well enough they start swearing and laughing at the problems they have to solve. The auction mechanic in Cyclades kicks that off really quickly: "But I didn't WANT Athena this turn!" Inis is my personal favourite of the two, since I really like building the map as you play, and the card drafting is fun. But the combat is ... hilariously painful since you can choose to lose units OR cards.
I already have the original version of the game, is it worth me selling it to get the newer version? Apparently it feels slightly more polished, and is a bit more accessible. Although I've heard the original is apparently still as good if not better. Would be great to have an opinion of someone who's seen the new one or played both! Cheers
Played both, I prefer the original to be honest.
@@dkoudrin Thanks! I definitely prefer how the pyramids work in the original. Still the cleverest use of 4 sided dice I've ever seen.
Also, even if the new version is better, I probably couldn't part with my original copy. The first big board game I ever bought! Has a special place in my collection just for that reason.
As a general rule, unless a new edition is super better and you like the one you have, stick with it.
I sold my copy of the older game. I was never going to play the Seth expansion anyway and the newer version has a vastly superior storage system which makes the game much quicker to table.
yay, one of my fav games...of my largely unplayed collection 🙂
EDIT: I mean my collection is largely unplayed, Kemet is played multiple times 🙂
Lol, that would be a funny statement otherwise.
@@3MBG I do have plenty of other games its true of. Conan...Street Fighter...Steamwatchers...Ankh. The list goes on. I finally found some humans to play with tho, so things may change...
Did they get rid of the d4s?
I believe so, its now pyramid minis
@@3MBG No clearer example of how the market has shifted over the last ten years. Once the d4 was a key selling point.
Kemet is 10y old, other area control games trying to be good like this one. (;
