■ Why was "Ra" chosen?
Strategic bidding system determined by sun tiles
Each player has a limited number of sun tiles with varying values. They use these tiles to compete for the right to acquire tile sets. Once a sun tile is used, it may not be returned until the end of that era , so players must constantly decide which bid to take. Will you take risks and aim for a big return, or steadily accumulate points? Your strategy will determine the outcome.
Psychological warfare and tactics create a different outcome every time
The real fun of the game lies in the psychological tactics of deciphering the intentions and strategies of other players and maximizing the value of your own sun tiles at the right time. How you collect various types of tiles, such as Pharaohs, Monuments, Nile Floods, and Gods' Powers, and complete an effective set will greatly affect the amount of prestige points you can earn.
