About the Game

The great Abu Simbel temple hides a thousand-year-old secret. Its chambers patiently wait for someone brave enough to explore them. However, as every amazing adventure, the path is filled with dangers. The walls of the temple hide deadly traps that range from sharp blades to floors that collapse under your feet. And even poisonous scorpions and undead mummies! Do you dare explore the ancient secrets of Abu Simbel?

Abu Simbel is a board game you play on your feet, recreating the movements indicated by the cards to avoid the numerous traps hidden in the temple. If you decide to enter the chambers of the Abu Simbel temple, you will have to crawl, jump, squeeze through tight cracks, cross over dark pits and defeat the mummies that protect the temple! You will have to do it literally — moving your arms, hands, and legs.

The goal of Abu Simbel is to get past the traps in the different chambers in order to reach the great treasure vault, grab some treasures, and leave the temple through the same traps again, but in reverse and in total darkness!

At the end of the game, the winner is the player who scores the most points from the treasures gained and their remaining charm cards.
