We're unboxing RA from 25th Century Games, the classic bidding game from Reiner Knizia. In the board game RA, players will be using their sun discs to bid on tiles that they will use to build their tableau and score points. RA is a simple to learn bidding game for 2-5 players and comes in two editions - Regular and Pharaoh. The regular edition has cardboard components, while the Pharaoh edition has wooden bidding tiles and metal coins. Take a look at the differences between the RA retail edition and the RA pharaoh edition in this video.
These games were set to us by the publisher for photography.
From the Publisher:
Invoke the power of the sun god!
Take on the role of a line of ancient Egyptian kings, ruling over your vast kingdoms. You will work to improve the culture of Egypt and the strength of your royal lineage, all while following the will of the gods.
Time is limited, so you must wisely decide how to spend your days.
In the end, will you have pleased the gods enough to move on to the Field of Reeds in the afterlife?
One of Reiner Knizia’s most loved games, RA is a classic auction game for 2-5 players, now in a new edition with revised artwork and deluxe components.
