About the game
When you pick a Market stall that contains 1 or more Bastet cards immediately take the statue of Bastet and place it in front of yourself. Discard the Bastet card(s) and earn 3 Scarabs. If at the beginning of your turn you still have Bastet in front of you, then you earn 3 additional Scarabs. Contains: 10 Bastet cards 1 Bastet statue Is included in the Deluxe Edition, but was sold separately for integration with original version. Note: The Bastet cards size is compatible with the old edition cards, however, the back will be different, so we suggest to keep them all face up in the main deck.
