 Stone Age version 2.0Jan 23, 2012
By Godly Gadfly
I consider Egizia to be Stone Age version 2.0. Like the incredibly successful euro game Stone Age, Egizia a worker placement game, and it shares much in common with it. Yet Egizia has the advantage of being slightly more complex, more strategic, and thus also more satisfying. It first appeared at Essen 2009 and is currently just perched outside the BoardGameGeek Top 100 with a very respectable average rating of 7.59.
Egizia is an Egyptian themed game which has players send their workers to various locations on and around the Nile river. Over five rounds, you'll try to increase the strength of your construction crews, and use them to contribute to the building of impressive Egyptian landmarks like the pyramids, as well as ensure that you feed your workers and manage them wisely. There's lots of different ways to earn points, and unlike Stone Age there are no dice, but there are cards which can be claimed to offer short term and long term rewards, so end-of-game scoring is an important element of game-play.
For a euro, the Egyptian theme is surprisingly well-developed. And while it uses the traditional worker placement mechanic, it adds some excellent twists that limit ship placement, and promote variable long term strategies. While Egizia is no Stone Age clone, this is a strategic worker placement game that fans of Stone Age will not want to miss, and I consider it the superior of the two! Overall a fantastic game! - EndersGame @ BGG

 EgiziaSep 29, 2010

It's a great Euro strategy game-not a toy. Cardboard pieces make it susceptible to bending and water damage. The game plays 2-4 nicely.
