Tekhenu: Obelisk of the Sun
Four millennia ago on the eastern bank of the Nile river was laid the foundation of the Temple of Amun-Ra. Over the course of two thousand years, the temple complex was gradually expanded and became widely known as "The Most Select of Places" (Ipet-Isut), boasting the largest religious building in the world. Today, the site is known as Karnak, located at Luxor in modern-day Egypt.
What is Tekhenu: Obelisk of the Sun
Four millennia ago on the eastern bank of the Nile river was laid the foundation of the Temple of Amun-Ra. Over the course of two thousand years, the temple complex was gradually expanded and became widely known as "The Most Select of Places" (Ipet-Isut), boasting the largest religious building in the world. Today, the site is known as Karnak, located at Luxor in modern-day Egypt.
Join ancient Pharaohs in creating and growing one of the most impressive sites the world has seen, honoring the Egyptian gods Horus, Ra, Hathor, Bastet, Thoth, and Osiris. You must carefully manage the balance of your actions, preparing for the reckoning by the goddess Maat.
The game board in Tekhenu: Obelisk of the Sun is divided into six sections, each associated with an Egyptian god: Horus, Ra, Hathor, Bastet, Thoth, and Osiris. In the center stands an impressive obelisk (Tekhenu) that casts its shadow onto different parts of the board. As a result, the area around the obelisk is divided into sunny, shaded, and dark sections, depending on how the obelisk casts its shadow at that particular moment. As the game progresses, the sun's rotation alters which sections are sunny, shaded, or dark.
The game takes place over multiple rounds. Each round, players draft dice and perform actions associated with the value of the die and the section from which the die was drafted. Dice come in five colors, and each die is considered Pure, Tainted, or Forbidden depending on the color of the die and the position of the obelisk's shadow. While you may never draft Forbidden dice, you are free to draft any other die, whether Pure or Tainted.

Te puede marear el obelisco colocando los dados puros e impuros, prohibidos no prohibidos...la primera partida no la disfrutas porque te cuesta asimilar toda la simbología, pero a medida que le das partidas lo disfrutas mucho mas.
Euro muy interesante no demasiado bien tratado por la critica. A mi me ha gustado bastante, con varias vias de desarrollo
N-SEP-20 Cuarto de Juegos #OPBO Junio25
Magnífico euro de la escuela italiana que puede agobiar un poco al leer el manual pero es mas sencillo de lo que parece. La única pega es cambiar los dados en el obelisco en los turnos.
Brutal juegaco euro bien durete, con unas decisiones complejas pero reglas muy bien entrelazadas. Diseño brutal! Ganas de repetir!
