New Game Round-up: The Nile Will Run Red While You Explore Valley of the Kings for Illegal Tiny Epic Kingdoms

Last game of the year/first game of 2014 will be a collection of games in one box, for one low price (around $10/game in the collection)... None of the games are "remakes", though you might notice some sort of familiar mechanics in two of the games. All games use independent main components and collective "resource" components.

You are a tiny kingdom with big ambition. You want to expand your population throughout the realms, learn powerful magic, build grand towers, and have your neighbors quiver at the mention of your name. The conflict? All of the other kingdoms want the same thing and there's not enough room for everyone to succeed...

In Tiny Epic Kingdoms, a 4X fantasy game in a pocket-size package, each player starts with a unique faction (which has a unique technology tree) and a small territory. Throughout the game, players collect resources, explore other territories, battle each other, research magic, and work to build a great tower to protect their realm.

When you die, you can take it with you!

Take on the role of Egyptian nobles at the time of the pharaohs, preparing for their death and burial in the Valley of the Kings. Using an innovative deck-building mechanism with a crumbling pyramid, players fill their tombs with food, canopic jars, statues, amulets and other treasures. The player who collects the most valuable artifacts in her tomb wins the game!
