Description
In Men Nefer , players immerse themselves in an atmospheric Egyptian theme. Fans of Bitoku will recognize the action selection mechanism. In Bitoku , you choose from three options each turn: play a card, place a die, or move a die across the river. Men Nefer uses a similar system, where you also choose from three possible actions each time.
Each round begins with the playing of an action tile. This determines which of the five rows of the action track you place a worker on. The second action of a turn is to perform an action on that track, provided you've previously placed a worker there. Finally, as the third action, you choose a new action tile, which you can use in the following round. This ensures a clear game structure.
Still, as you might expect from German P. Millán ( Bitoku , Sabika ), the game offers a wide range of possibilities. You can unlock mummies and sphinxes and then place them on the board. You can move priestesses in temples, make donations there, and ascend the obelisk track. Donating requires you to buy goods, and you can also purchase papyruses for points. Sailing on the river yields bonuses and scoring tiles. You can help build the King's and Queen's Pyramids. And by cleverly moving your heart and pen along the track, you avoid negative points and ultimately score points.
So, there are many possibilities, but you'll have to make clear choices. The tiles in the Queen's Pyramid vary from game to game, meaning the point distribution is different each time. The unique bonuses for placing mummies, the scoring tiles on the river, and the ruler tile in the temple also ensure that no game is the same, and your strategy must be adjusted each time.
Each round, each player has nine actions: three times the three possible actions. After each round, all scores are tallied. Then, round two begins, followed by round three, which proceed in the same way. After each of the three rounds, there is an identical scoring, with scores generally increasing each round.
Men Nefer also has a very accessible and logical solo mode. The AI follows a few simple rules and performs virtually the same actions as a human player, but it doesn't have to comply with all the costs and conditions you, as a player, do.
