Updating a board game can be tricky work. Tinker too much and you can put off the purist fans of the initial release but, if you don’t fix the perceived bumps in the road, it might not bring in new players. The updated version of Egizia called Egizia:Shifting Sands, it is still about building those world famous monuments on the banks of the Nile and it still includes that powerful “One Way”(Down the Nile) worker placement.

Have never played Egizia. Is it anything like Imhotep (if you've ever played that)? They sound similar, although Egizia sounds more "directly vicious", I guess, which is entertaining for those of us who like to trade blows within our building plans, as you mention.
We picked up a copy of Imhotep around the time of its release from an FLGS, played it a couple times, and then put it on the shelf. I looked at it the other day on BGG and there are like a half-dozen expansions for it. I had no idea it was that popular.

I'm curious about the title, which seems to have no footing in anything other than rhyming with someone's name.

I think they were going for Egizia meaning "Of Egypt." Or maybe you are right and it was Egizia: (in small print NOT A GAME BY) Reiner Knizia.Sagrilarus wrote: I'm curious about the title, which seems to have no footing in anything other than rhyming with someone's name.
