Description Description
Ra is an auction and set-collection game with an Ancient Egyptian theme. Each turn players are able to purchase lots of tiles with their bidding tiles (suns). Once a player has used up his or her suns, the other players continue until they do likewise, which may set up a situation with a single uncontested player bidding on tiles before the end of the round occurs. Tension builds because the round may end before all players have had a chance to win their three lots for the epoch. The various tiles either give immediate points, prevent negative points for not having certain types at the end of the round (epoch), or give points after the final round. The game lasts for three "epochs" (rounds). The game offers a short learning curve, and experienced players find it both fast-moving and a quick play.
From the Box:
The game spans 1500 years of Egyptian history in less than an hour!
The players seek to expand their power and fame and there are many ways to accomplish this: Influencing Pharaohs, Building monuments, Farming on the Nile, Paying homage to the Gods, Advancing the technology and culture of the people. Ra is an auction and set collecting game where players may choose to take risks for great rewards or... And all this is for the glory of the Sun God Ra!

Such simple mechanics but the potential to ratchet up the stress of auctions adds so much complexity in decisions. This is a masterwork of simple = complex. The production is amazing, even with the cardboard tiles. The only issue is that some tile pulling can make the game move overly quickly (which can be a good thing) but can also create a bad experience if too many bad tiles are pulled and no one can really do anything. However this is part of the game that makes it intense because you are always in a race with RA and your opponents to acquire as many scoring tiles as you can before the epochs end.

A very simple but deep and elegant auction game. The new edition has fantastic graphic design as well. Pulling pieces from the bag is immensely satisfying.

Auctions are fantastic—a simple mechanic that naturally fosters high levels of interaction and strategy without getting bogged down in complex rules. Ra is the "crème de la crème" of auction games; combined with set-collection mechanics, it delivers a truly timeless experience. Not only has it aged remarkably well, but it still outshines many famous modern games that rely on the "grab tiles from the center and build your habitat" formula. We really miss that kind of auction-driven interaction; games like Cascadia or Harmonies would be a thousand times better if they simply incorporated a small auction mechanic—or something similar.

20+ plays at all player counts (2-player is weakest as pharaohs and epoch 3 sun disk scoring can feel a little too swingy) Still the best amalgamation of auction/set collection/push-your-luck I've ever played. Goated Knizia.

Forse il miglior gioco del maestro Knizia. Poche regole, rigiocabilità infinita; ti fa capire la differenza fra giochi di società e giochi in scatola e come purtroppo vengano sempre più prodotti quest'ultimi. Rientra di diritto tra i giuochi della vita, ovvero quelli che invecchiano insieme al gruppo che ne usufruisce. Un capolavoro.
