In Anubixx, you build massive structures in Ancient Egypt using dice rolls and resource management. All players use the same dice results at the same time, eliminating waiting. The challenge is to avoid wasting your precious stones while securing the Pharaoh's favor. A quarry mechanic helps when dice rolls aren't ideal, adding strategic depth.
Who Is This Game For?
Anubixx is a light game for 2 to 5 players aged 8 and up, perfect for families and casual gamers. With a short playtime of about 20 minutes, it fits well into quick gaming sessions. It requires little prior experience due to simple rules focusing on dice luck and tactical decisions.
How It Works
The game centers on Dice Rolling and Paper-and-Pencil mechanics. Players simultaneously use the rolled symbols to build structures. If dice rolls are unfavorable, the quarry resource helps continue construction. The goal is to build as many structures as possible without wasting stones by smart use of dice and resources.
