Aapep

This is an intriguing little game, based on Egyptian mythology. Aapep is the snake demon who tries to swallow the sun – epitomised by the Sun God, Ra. These are the two sides of a struggle between light and dark, sunshine and shadow.

The game is played on a 4 x 4 grid of squares. Players take turns to place tiles that represent pyramids with different patterns of light and shade. The aim is to create a view from one edge of the board that is either all dark or all light – depending on which side you're on. This is a quick-playing game with some tactical subtlety.

For 2-4 players, aged 8+, playing time 20 minutes: £5.00
