About the game
Be the player who collects the most cards in this ancient game of matching and mathematics. Fish from the "pool" using cards in your hand - by either matching cards in the pool or adding their values to equal the sum of your fishing card. If you have the "Eye of Horus" card, you can take all of the cards in the pool. With beautifully illustrated cards based on images from ancient papyrus, Eye of Horus is a great strategy game for older players and a great educational (math) game for younger ones.

Questions and answers
Eye of Horus supports 2–8 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Eye of Horus is 45 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Eye of Horus for ages 7 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Eye of Horus has a complexity rating of 1.3 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
Eye of Horus belongs to these categories: Card Game and Bluffing. Categories describe the theme, setting and style of a game rather than its rules. Filter the catalogue by the same category to find similar games when you enjoyed Eye of Horus and want something comparable for your next game night.
