An den Ufern des Nils (1994)

About this game

In An den Ufern des Nils, players attempt to grow their crops on the banks of the Nile. As the river ebbs and floods, players spend action points to buy & sow seed in the fields, grow and then harvest their crops. Water tiles serve to flood the fields and players score most points for producing the freshest produce. Originally produced for the 1992 Hippodice Spieleautorenwettbewerb (Hippodice game author competition).

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 2.3/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
