Sobek 2 players is now available in beta

Post by Dunkerque »

Hello to you all!

We’re delighted to announce that our next title, Sobek 2 players, is now available in beta.
We think this two-player reimplementation of Bruno Cathala’s acclaimed classic is perfect for online gaming: it’s pretty intuitive to jump right in while offering an interesting learning curve, and it plays in just 10 minutes.
We hope you enjoy the game!

Construction is underway on a temple dedicated to Sobek. A huge market has emerged nearby, supplied by the continuous flow of feluccas and pirogues along the Nile. Your Guild of Merchants is determined to take advantage of this unbelievable opportunity, and ready to use any means to grab sumptuous goods out of the way of your opponent. Beware, though, as it will be crucial not to have accumulated too much corruption when the time of reckonings arrives.

In Sobek 2 Players, both opponents collect and sell Goods to earn the most Victory Points. On their turn, the player chooses among 3 options: take a tile on the Market, sell a set of Goods or play a Character. When the player takes a tile, they select one on the Ankh pawn’s line and add it to their hand. They then place the Ankh pawn in the line that is indicated by the tile they just took, which determines the choices available to their opponent.
When they have enough in hand, a player can sell a set of at least 3 tiles of the same type. These tiles will earn them Victory Points at the end of the game, depending on both their quantity and the amount of Scarabs that they feature. A player can also use a Character to benefit from its powerful special ability. Everything here is about timing. Planning ahead and analyzing which opportunities you offer to you opponent on their next move is key to playing the best moves and winning the game.

You have buttons on the right in-game :)

Edit: but indeed they are not visible on mobile in portrait mode. You can switch to landscape mode, or find the player help file on the game page when clicking "see more" under the rules button.
