Inis has a few tricks up it's sleeves though. It's theme is set in Celtic lore with players attempting to become the King of the Islands - Inis. To do this players can attempt to earn one or more of three victory conditions. The trouble is when you have achieve one or more of them you must signal this to the other players by taking a pretender token. Of course this gives the other players a chance to counter act your carefully laid plans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis means that Inis becomes a battle to not only achieve a win condition but either do it in such a way that it becomes impossible for the other players to combat, or go all out on every win condition and hope that it's enough. This feels like a great evolution of the shifting victory points in Kemet and makes Inis feel different to other games.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough battle is a part of the game you can't just go and stomp all over the other players, well you can but not if you want to win! This part of the game is a big part of the appeal as the battle of the minds is as important as the battle over territory. But let's not forget the cards you draft too. The drafting isn't a straight forward draft one pass the rest but includes some interesting decisions to make to get you to your hand to 4 cards.

If that is the case you can stop reading right now and just hit 'add to basket'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKemet is part of a loose trilogy of games including Cyclades and Inis. All big box games set in interesting cultures with smart mechanics and excellent component quality. Kemet is probably the most pure area control and battle game out of the three, as up to five players battle around and across the Nile to hold onto temples to earn victory points. To win the game you only need eight of those victory points, which sounds like a paltry amount, until you find out that a lot of these victory points are 'temporary' and can be held by and taken away from you in the blink of an eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis forms the backbone of the tactical gameplay of Kemet. Do you rush in and take the points while your opponents try to build their power? Or do you consolidate your forces and make a big move at a key time? Whatever you do, you will want to get hold of some of the power tiles. In the base game these come in three colours - red with mainly attack bonuses, blue with mainly defence bonuses, and white which makes other actions more efficient. All of the colours tiles also give access to monsters like giant scorpions and snakes which can be attached to your troops for big advantages in battle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe board itself is a masterpiece in design, as most of the time you will find yourself equal distances from other players and temples. To move around the board, upgrade your army and all the other actions you use your player board. On the board is a pyramid with a grid of actions that you chose from one at a time in turn order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe beauty of Kemet is, thanks to the temporary victory points system, you are never out of the running.
