imhotep
In Imhotep, the players become builders in Egypt who want to emulate the first and best-known architect there, namely Imhotep.
Over six rounds, they move wooden stones by boat to create five seminal monuments, and on a turn, a player chooses one of four actions: Procure new stones, load stones on a boat, bring a boat to a monument, or play an action card. While this sounds easy, naturally the other players constantly thwart your building plans by carrying out plans of their own. Only those with the best timing — and the stones to back up their plans — will prove to be Egypt's best builder.

Setup
- Determine start player.

Game Play
- Game plays over 6 rounds.
- On your turn you take one action, and then play passes clockwise.
Actions
Fill Sled
Add 3 blocks from your quarry to your sled. If your sled has 1 or 2 spaces, fill it. You cannot take this action if your sled is full.
Add to a Boat
Place 1 block from your sled to any open spot on an unsailed boat.
Sail a Boat
Choose a boat which has enough blocks on it (the number of small cube icons at the bow). It does not matter if you have any blocks on it or not. You choose which unvisited location you want it to go to. Then all blocks unload into that location, in order from front of the boat to back.
Play an Action Card
(blue card): Do what the card says. Then the card is used up. Unused action cards are worth 1 point at end of game.
Locations
Market
(A): Each block in turn claims a card from the market and go back to quarry supply.
Pyramid
(A): Blocks gain the points they land on. Place blocks into the grid, filling columns from top to bottom, starting with the leftmost column. Once the base is completed you build the second level (4 blocks total) then the capstone. All extra blocks after that score 1 point each.
Temple
(A): Blocks build from left to right. Once the row is filled, go back to the left and stack on top of the previously placed blocks. At the end of each round, score 1 point per block of yours that is visible when looking down on the temple.
Burial Chamber
(A): Place blocks into the grid, filling columns from top to bottom, starting with the leftmost column. At end of game each player scores for their groups of connected blocks.
Obelisks
(A): Each player has their own obelisk (stack of their own blocks). At end of game score based on player count and relative height of obelisks - but an obelisk of height 0 always scores 0. In case of a tie, the tied players average the scores.
Cards
Cards are gained from the Market.
Blue cards
Provide a one-off action. Unused action cards are worth 1 point.
Green cards
End game points as indicated.
Purple cards
Statues: score at end of game according to the number collected.
