RA (EN)
- In stock, ready to ship
In Ra, you take on the role of a dynasty of Egyptian rulers spanning more than 1500 years of history in under an hour. Each turn challenges you to draw a tile, invoke Ra or bid with your limited Sun disks. Auction lots include monuments, civilizations, Nile floods, gold, gods and even disasters that may reshape your plans. Your goal is to maintain ma’at, the sacred balance, while building a prosperous kingdom over three epochs.
What makes Ra exceptional is its rising tension: a Ra tile can appear at any moment, pushing the Sun Boat forward and suddenly ending the epoch. Bidding is sharp, interactive and full of calculated risks. The gameplay is elegant, fast-paced and remarkably strategic, continuing Knizia’s legacy of brilliant auction design.
Ra is for you if you enjoy high-interaction bidding games, tight decision-making, set collection and evocative ancient themes. It is a timeless modern classic with incredible replayability.
Fun fact: Ra was inducted into the 2025 BoardGameGeek Hall of Fame, joining the most influential board games ever published. This edition features the stunning and culturally faithful artwork of Ian O’Toole, bringing clarity and beauty to every component.
Designed by Reiner Knizia, one of the most celebrated board game designers, Ra remains one of his most iconic and beloved titles.
