About Luxor

Players try to excavate the most valuable mummies from the pyramids by placing tiles into the vertical board. Each match allows the player to manuver their explorers around the pillars. Getting 3 scarabs in front of a pillar allows the excavation of a mummy. Mummies excavated later in a pillar are more valuable than the earlier ones.
