What is Thebes Lies

Ancient Egypt. As he could not lie at home, old Ahmed spent his days playing “Thebes Lies” with his bazaar clients. He used postcards of the city, Cleo, the Bello Camel, the Crazy Mummy and the famous architect, Baser. There’s still room for someone else in the next game, would you like to join?

In Thebes Lies, you will become one of Ahmed's bazaar clients and you will gamble for your purchase in a game of cunning and deception. “Mmm... I have my doubts...” Will you manage to win and leave without having to pay? Give it a try, your fabrics and spices seem to be expensive.

GAME IDEA

In Thebes Lies, you play an uncertain number of rounds until someone gets 3 new amphorae or 3 broken amphorae. In both cases the game ends and there will be a winner. During each round, you must play your cards astutely, either by tricking your opponents or — if you think they are lying — by revealing the cards played and checking them.
