Melissa Midcap’s Curse of the Pharaoh party

“We had a blast hosting Curse of the Pharaoh last night! The difficult plot was challenging fun for our veteran players, but the newcomers still had a great time as well. A couple of the more entertaining aspects of this particular game (don’t want to give a spoiler here) unfortunately did not get to play out, so I think in the future for this one (this is the second time we’ve done this one) we will provide some additional playing time if certain things don’t happen.

After researching games from Egypt, we chose to use Mancala to determine the outcome of duels. We had a board set up in play as decoration, then had a bag of additional Mancala stones with assigned point values. Players drew three stones (white=1, green=2, blue=3) and the higher number won.

As always, everyone had a great evening, and we are ready to start planning the next one!”
