Board Game - Ra

In the board game "Ra", you will take on the role of highborn rulers of Ancient Egypt, dedicating your life and reign to the preservation of "ma’at". Throughout three epochs, develop the culture of Egypt and strengthen the status of your dynasty, following the will of the gods. Your reign is heavily limited in time, so you must wisely choose how exactly you will spend your days on this earth. At the end of your journey, you can only hope that you have managed to earn the favor of the gods and eternal peace amidst the serene reed fields of Ialu.

A game of "Ra" is divided into three parts, called epochs. During each epoch, players will perform certain actions that will allow them to develop culture and improve the lives of their people, earning rewards and gaining glory.

An epoch ends in two cases: when all players' sun disks are face down, or when the solar barge reaches the end of the Ra track. At the end of each epoch, players count victory points, after which the ruler is replaced by a new one, taking with them many of their lifetime achievements (players note this by discarding auction tokens).

On their turn, a player can only perform one of the following actions:

- Take a token
- Call upon Ra
- Spend god tokens

If you decide to take a token, simply draw a random one from the bag and place it in the free far-left space of the auction row. If the token cannot be played, then this action cannot be performed as well. 

If you decide to call upon Ra, simply say "I call upon Ra!", then take the statue of Ra and open the auction. Each player has sun disks with different values – these are used for bidding. The auction starts with the player to the left of the one who called upon Ra and continues until it reaches the caller. A player can either outbid the previous bid with a sun disk of greater value or pass. Those who lose in the auction take back their sun disks, while the winner takes all tokens from the auction row and discards their sun disk. In exchange, they take the top disk from the auction tablet. Thus, a player's bids will always change.

If you decide to spend god tokens, simply discard one of your god tokens that you received earlier, and take a token from the auction row in exchange.

Proceed to counting victory points when one of the conditions is met: all players' sun disks are face down or the solar barge token has reached the far-right space of the track. After this, the next epoch begins.

At the end of the third epoch, players also count victory points and then add them to the points earned earlier. The one who earned more than others wins the game and is declared the most successful ruler of Ancient Egypt!
