■ Product Introduction
[Game System]
The core game system of Imhotep: Duel is strategically unloading tiles from six ships.
Players must cleverly place their game pieces to capture high-value tiles at their own pace.
This system requires you to carefully observe your opponent's moves and develop a strategy to surpass them.
[Strategy and tactics]
Each player builds four unique monuments and aims to earn as many prestige points as possible.
It is important to balance acquiring tiles from ships and building monuments, while also reading and sometimes disrupting your opponent's strategy.
It builds on the fast-paced, competitive mechanics that the original Imhotep game was known for, delivering intense, focused, two-player combat.
