From BoardGameGeek
In Imhotep, the players become builders in Egypt who want to emulate the first and best-known architect there, namely Imhotep. Over six rounds, they move wooden stones by boat to create five seminal monuments, and on a turn, a player chooses one of four actions: Procure new stones, load stones on a boat, bring a boat to a monument, or play an action card. While this sounds easy, naturally the other players constantly thwart your building plans by carrying out plans of their own. Only those with the best timing - and the stones to back up their plans - will prove to be Egypt's best builder.
Imhotep has 54 videos from 46 creators: 30 reviews, 12 how-to-play guides, 7 playthroughs, 1 unboxing and 4 other videos. They date from 2016 to September 2026.
