With the power and splendor of Egypt increasing, its influence now reaches far beyond its borders. Seth, the god of conflict, demands that you subdue Canaan, and wage war on the mighty Hittite Empire. Your soldiers are to march on any land that dares defy you or pose a threat to your kingdom. It is the time to muster your armies, gather your priests, claim mighty artifacts and secure the favor of a powerful cult to pave your way into even greater victories.
Tekhenu: Time of Seth adds new layers of interaction and new options to Tekhenu: Obelisk of the Sun. A new board opens up options of conquering neighboring lands to receive in-game benefits, as well as new scoring opportunities. New dice allow for mustering Soldiers and gathering priests. However, conquest comes with a price, as with more battles fought, balancing one’s deeds becomes more complicated than before.
Apart from soldiers needed to take control of lands beyond the borders of Egypt, players also gather priests that allow them to take control of artifacts. These new cards offer new and nuanced ways of planning turns, combining strategic plays and scoring victory points.
The expansion also contains advanced rules specifically designed to enhance the 2–player experience.

lo que añade, lo hace bien. da nuevos espacios para la colocación de casas y estatuas, con efectos medianamente interesantes, sobresalen los PV x fase de puntuación y las acciones de thot al colocar pilar; agrega nuevas cartas que justifican tomar ciertas estrategias, que en el juego base quedaban un poco en nada. sin embargo, creo que tiene mucho potencial perdido. No termina de agregar cosas sustanciales, suele funcionar más como un bálsamo para el juego base que conceptos que funcionen por sí solos y agilicen el juego, cosa que esperaba de esta expansión. También esperaba un poco más de mitigación sobre los dados, he jugado un par de partidas con muchos 1, que limitan el alcance de las acciones, tanto de dios, como de producción, haciendo que el juego se empantane demasiado. En resumen, es un producto correcto, pero no recomendaría adquirirlo si lo que se quieres es "mejorar" la experiencia que ya te ofrecía el base.

*Solo Review* Do you LOVE Tekhenu? Get this expansion! END. This expansion is not complicated at all, why is it rated so high? Sure it makes a few tweaks to the game but if you play this more than a few times it flows real easy. People tend to give up on medium / heavy games too early before getting a real feel for this expansion.

Improving the basic game. More options and less chance of staying with bad or less than optimal actions.
