bionic20Welcome to the exotic world of Ancient Egypt! It’s a bustling market day on the shores of the mighty Nile. :D1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
bionic20You are one of 2 merchants competing for the favour of the god Sobek. You win by scoring more points than your opponent. You score mostly by selling sets of 3 or more tiles of the same goods. You begin by taking one of the four central tiles on the board.2tooltip-id-4000
bionic20Your objective should always be to take the best possible tiles while denying your opponent the chance to do the same. In this setup, your best start is the IVORY tile. Pick that one up!3tooltip-id-4010tooltip-id-4 16
bionic20A player can only move in the direction of the Ankh pawn. In this case, horizontally. :) Notice the arrows on the tiles to plan your next moves ahead as they redirect the Ankh.1sbk-corruption-holder619188b0ad3c300
bionic20[tip] You don’t ALWAYS need to move to a tile adjacent to the Anhk pawn. You can go as far as you can, but the tiles you pass over go towards your corruption count. Having more corruption than your opponent will hurt your scoring at the end of the game. !!! Only do this in very specific situations!1sbk-corruption-holder619188be7091100
bionic20In this case, it's a good idea to grab that 3-scarab Ivory tile as it's one of the most valuable in the game. Take it!2tooltip-id-25619188be7091110tooltip-id-25 16
bionic20Take a look at the log in the bottom right: The opponent merchant has taken a STATUE, these green tiles are jokers which can assume any type of goods required in order to make a sale.2log_3619188d181caa00
bionic20Take another scarab Ivory for 2 corruption.3tooltip-id-27619188d182b4a10tooltip-id-27 16
bionic20Wow, this will be a big sale! :D1sbk-my-hand619188d6baee000
bionic20The opponent has taken a tile with a Deben coin. They can choose to either keeping the tile and use it later for a sale, or remove it from their hand but keeping the coin.1log_5619188de7c58100
bionic20Now you are ready for your first sell! Click on the 3 ivory (white) tiles on your hand and sell them! :D1sbk-hand-holder619188e05b84610
bionic20With your first sell you can see the 5 Pirogue tokens at the left of the board for the first time. Not only you are the first to choose one but now you know the identity of the other ones and can plan your game accordingly! You can get a description of all Pirogues on the "Pirogues reference" button at the right of the table.1tooltip-id-47619188e96781400tooltip-id-50 11
bionic20Take the Monkey Mummy Pirogue.2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment619188e96781410tooltip-id-47 16
bionic20Wow! Now all the tiles in your corruption are in your hand and ready to be used!1sbk-hand-holder619188ed00ea700
bionic20The opponent has taken the first CHARACTER tile of the game.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment619188f26dba000
bionic20After taking a character tile, a player can redirect the Ankh pawn in the direction they want as long as it offers a valid play next move.2sbk-corruption-holder619188f26e21b00
bionic20Take the scarab FISH tile. 1tooltip-id-12619189010a8df10tooltip-id-12 16
bionic20Sell the 3 FISH tiles.1sbk-hand-holder6191892ae34b310
bionic20Now you can get a Pirogue token that gives you 2 extra scarabs to your fish set! Take it!1tooltip-id-4561918931ce4b410tooltip-id-45 16
bionic20Right now you can only place that Pirogue on fish.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment61918933650b400
bionic20Time to take your first character. Take the red tile above the Ankh pawn.1tooltip-id-326191894b6bf8210tooltip-id-32 16
bionic20Characters can be played for their unique powers or of as part of a set. All characters are associated with a goods type. Your first character is of the fish group.2tooltip-id-6761918953820de00
bionic20On a turn you can: Pick up a tile, make a sell, or play a character. The opponent has chosen to play the Merchant character. You can get the description of all character's powers any time at the "Characters reference" button on the right.1sbk-corruption-holder61918969e55c500
bionic20[tip] Sales of the same tile ACCUMULATE for scoring purposes and thus are more profitable than sales of different types. In this case, it's a good idea to take the 2-scarab marble tile even if it cost you a new corruption point and you are giving away the 3-scarab ivory tile. Take the marble (pink) tile. 1tooltip-id-166191896ce9a8010tooltip-id-16 16
bionic20You are doing great! :D1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment6191897bb63f700
bionic20Now you know the basics to start your first game of Sobek 2-Players.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment619189848b26500
bionic20When there are no more moves available, a player can refill the market and pick again a tile from the central 4. 1deck-holder619189e74dc9300
bionic20When there are no more possible moves nor tiles left to refill, the game ends.1deck-holder61918a0d3175100
bionic20This is the end of the tutorial, now it's up to you to become the most successful merchant in Egypt! :D May Sobek be with you!1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment61918a347f4cb00
