Tutankhamen is Reiner Knizia’s compact set-collection game about recovering artifacts for the pharaoh’s tomb. Sixty-nine tiles form a winding path, and on a turn a player may advance to any treasure ahead—but can never go back for what was passed. Sets vary in size and score when their final tile is claimed: the player holding the most earns the set’s full value, while second place receives half. A few special tiles bend the usual rhythm with immediate effects. Because every leap concedes everything between the old and new position, the simple movement rule produces sharp decisions about tempo, majority, and which set an opponent is quietly preparing to finish.
