Hamunaptra: Aventures dans la Grande Pyramide

What is Hamunaptra: Aventures dans la Grande Pyramide

If you've ever read Belgian or French ligne claire adventure comics, then the artwork in this game will look very familiar to you. In fact, the spirit of the game itself comes across like one of those stories, with the players being adventurers in the early twentieth century who are entering an enormous Egyptian pyramid in order to discover the riches that lie in wait. Alas, the adventurers' presence sets off a series of 3,000-year-old traps and they become separated inside a lethal maze.

Turns out that the maze is of their own creation, though, as players take turns laying down tiles that show corridors, monsters, traps or equipment. They must reach a staircase exit in order to gain their freedom, possibly facing off against monsters while doing so and using the strengths of their four characteristics to survive.

NB: Currently only in French, Spanish and Italian
