Remember to put a value system 1-4 of how difficult the question is. For example, a very difficult question would have a four or maybe four stars by it. A Very simple question would have the number one or one star. Questions with “twos” or two stars and “threes” or three stars by them would be a middle range level of difficulty for the question. BE SURE TO INCLUDE THE ANSWERS!!

Sample Game Descriptions Experience the glory of ancient Egypt – This is a new board game for

all the family. Imagine being transported back to the age of the pharaohs-your goal is to become supreme pharaoh by defeating your rivals on the way. Includes 200 period questions, wooden camels and pyramids.

  Ra is an auction game with an Ancient Egyptian theme. Each turn

players are able to purchase three lots of tiles with their bidding tiles. Once a player has purchased his three lots for the round, the other players continue until they do likewise, which may set up a situation with a single uncontested player bidding on tiles before the end of the round occurs. Tension builds because the round may end before all players have had a chance to win their three lots for the epoch. The tiles give either immediate points, prevent negative points for not having certain types at the end of the round (epoch), or give points after the final round. The game lasts for three epochs. The game offers a short learning curve, and experience players find it both fast-moving and a quick play.
