Tutankhamen's Revenge is a board game released in 1990 for 2–6 players, 30 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Stefanie Rohner and Christian Wolf and its main mechanics are Push Your Luck and Memory.
Each player starts by putting, in order, one layer each in the card box. When all cards are put in the box an upper layer finishes the process. The card box is then rotated a couple of times until none of the players are sure which cards lay where. Then each player tries, with help of the "spade", to "dig out" as many cards with plus points as possible. Those plus points are worth money. As soon as you stumble upon a minus card, you have to give the spade to the next player, lose all the money you collected so far this turn AND pay the minus penalty. You may also stop anytime before. The player who has collected the most money when the game ends, is the winner.
Tutankhamen's Revenge supports 2–6 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 Tutankhamen's Revenge is 30 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 Tutankhamen's Revenge for ages 8 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.
Tutankhamen's Revenge has a complexity rating of 1.4 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
