How It Plays

Area Majority / Influence

You're competing to have the most presence in key areas on the board — think of it like a friendly turf war.

Dice Rolling

You roll dice to determine outcomes — there's always that thrilling moment of suspense before they land!

Worker Placement

You place your workers on action spaces to claim them before anyone else — it's a scramble for the best spots!

About This Game

In the game of Nile, you and your opponent are rival builders of the great pyramids, using your workers to collect resources and build pyramids. Nile is a 2-player worker placement game where players compete for resources and workers in order to build the best and most pyramids. Played with Icehouse pyramids, Nile is one of the first Euro-style games to come out of the Icehouse system. Rules here: http://icehousegames.org/wiki/index.php?title=Nile
