About the Game

In Pharaoh, each player takes three Icehouse pieces of one color. The pieces start off the board and may enter the board edge closest to the player; the game board is a 5x5 grid with the corners removed. On a turn, roll the die and use the result as movement points: it takes 1/2/3 points to move a small/medium/large piece one square, and twice that for a diagonal move. Stacking is not allowed, but if you land on an enemy piece of the same size or smaller, it is removed from the board and needs to be moved back on. To win, a player must get all of his pieces in a row of three squares centered in the board.

Also included in the 2012 edition of Treehouse, and Pyramid Arcade.
