Ra is an auction and set-collection game with an Ancient Egyptian theme. Each turn players are able to purchase lots of tiles with their bidding tiles (suns). Once a player has used up his or her suns, the other players continue until they do likewise, which may set up a situation with a single uncontested player bidding on tiles before the end of the round occurs. Tension builds because the round may end before all players have had a chance to win their three lots for the epoch. The various tiles either give immediate points, prevent negative points for not having certain types at the end of the round (epoch), or give points after the final round. The game lasts for three "epochs" (rounds). The game offers a short learning curve, and experienced players find it both fast-moving and a quick play.
From the Box:
The game spans 1500 years of Egyptian history in less than an hour!
The players seek to expand their power and fame and there are many ways to accomplish this: Influencing Pharaohs, Building monuments, Farming on the Nile, Paying homage to the Gods, Advancing the technology and culture of the people. Ra is an auction and set collecting game where players may choose to take risks for great rewards or... And all this is for the glory of the Sun God Ra!
The title says it all! Cant ask for more. Game arrived fast in perfect condition with a ridiculous amount of packaging. It probably could have rolled off a cliff and still been ok.
Ra (New Standard Edition)
A great printing of an all time classic! the wooden sun disks are amazing!
The game is a classic. The quality of the pieces are top notch. Don’t hesitate, buy this game.
Ra definitely surprised me; I ignored it until the hype for the 2023 reprint proliferated through the hobby and I snagged a copy. It's been a hit with everyone I have introduced it to due to its easy ruleset and fast-paced turns which provide thought-provoking tactics and big, exciting moments. Plays great at all player counts (with 3 being my preferred number) and has quickly become an all-time favourite for me. Some have commented that storage is tight, but you just need to leave the token bag open when storing and the box closes flush. I love Ra and highly recommend it!

Amazing game for all ages…. They have a few modes of the game base on the age level. Fun cutting dice to make up dishes.
My game book was available for a fair price. It just took far too long to get to me, in my opinion. I don’t expect amazon fast, but this felt longer than necessary. Even so, glad it got to me.
