What is Treasure of the Pharaohs
A 3-dimensional board game set inside an Egyptian pyramid, where the winner is the first player to pass through all the hazards in the pyramid and discover the treasure hidden in the sarcophagus.
Players take it in turns to roll the dice and move their explorer along the track, following the directions on the board and negotiating the various hazards, including: The Great Stone of Cheops; The Spiral Maze; The Pit of Snakes; The Wheel of Anubis and finally the sarcophagus itself.
