At the end of the 19th century, Egyptology captured the imagination of Europe. Explorers, scholars, and adventurers crossed the desert in search of ancient wonders, hoping their discoveries would shine in the great museums of the world.
In Mykerinos, you lead a team of archaeologists competing for prestige. Season after season, you excavate promising sites, overcome obstacles, and secure the favor of powerful patrons. But discovering relics is only part of the story. To truly win, you must also claim the most prestigious spaces in the Museum, where your finds will be displayed in the final exhibition and their value multiplied.
This is a game of elegant tension and constant interaction. Every decision matters: where to place your archaeologists, when to push for control, and when to invest in the Museum instead of the dig. Timing, positioning, and reading your opponents are just as important as long‑term planning.
Mykerinos: Special Edition brings this modern classic back to the table with a renewed presentation. The core gameplay remains exactly as sharp, strategic, and engaging as players remember, but it is now supported by a completely refreshed artistic direction, clearer graphic design, and upgraded components that enhance readability, durability, and overall table presence.
Mykerinos: Special Edition includes the base game and the expansion The Nile.
