The designer’s games have become more involved as of late, WWII Global and Gift of the Nile are both designs that have a LOT of things going on. So don’t expect to breeze through such games, they do require a dedicated effort to play.
Grant, it’s unclear to me how you are gaining 1 AP in the Action Phase when conquering a Sepat (whether templed or not) when the Trade Good matches the roll from the Manetho Phase? It seems you are doing it out of sequence, i.e., you would have to control the Sepat in the Manetho Phase (10.2.3) when the roll is made, and not later on in the Action Phase? The “any time” reference is confusing, however note it says “cash in (spending)” and not “earning”.
Grant, I noticed on a God-led Revolt you rolled a ‘6’ and put the marker in the All Paths box. Note that during the Old Kingdom, a ‘6’ roll is no revolt (8.4.1). You made the Turn harder for yourself!
Thanks for this video. Just finished reading the rulebook, it's perfect timing!
Thanks for the play through I will start tackling the game this weekend.
I ordered this a couple weeks ago. Looking forward to receiving it.
Glad to see this playthrough. I have just received this game and watching a playthrough always helps to get faster through the rulebook :)
I had a blast playtesting this game for Ben. I hope you enjoyed playing the game.
thank you

My next project, Black Skin Black Shirt, on the 1935-7 Italo-Ethiopian war, is definitely dialing back on the complexity. 😊

Also, when using Pharoah to cancel an “X” on the Manetho table, it’s a 50/50 and not automatic (10.2.2).
