Since 2004, Sarcophagus has captivated fans of area control with its medium complexity design.
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.
Secret Unit Deployment
You place your units face-down so opponents don't know what you've got — the reveal is always exciting.
About This Game
Each player takes the part of an archaeologist discovering the secrets of one of the great pyramids and its sacred sarcophagus, hoping to gain the most fame by the end of the expedition. Sarcophagus is played with a piecepack, the tiles are laid in a pyramid shape, with 3 doubled up at the bottom, as players put their influence markers (coins) on the tiles, more of the pyramid is revealed and they have new areas to compete over. Unless you have a god tile to protect you, watch out for the those traps!…
