Men-Nefer – Become the Architects and Guardians of Ancient Memphis!

Step back to 3050 BCE and relive the golden age of Egypt in the city of Men-Nefer, better known to the world as Memphis. You have the opportunity to shape a capital that was once the most populous city on the planet and the beating heart of Egyptian civilization.
In this game, you are not just building a city—you are living an entire culture. It is your duty to lead your subjects through the key aspects of Egyptian life.
Acquire ancient knowledge and wisdom. Navigate the river and develop your people's economy. Make offerings to the gods and master the art of embalming nobles to send them off worthily into eternity. Erect magnificent sphinxes and contribute to the construction of the Great Pyramids.
While you build your earthly empire, you must not forget the spiritual realm. Every action you take influences whether Osiris will ultimately grant you passage to Aaru—the long-awaited heavenly paradise. Balancing earthly prestige with virtues for the afterlife will be your greatest challenge.
Throughout three exciting eras, you will utilize a novel action selection system that combines worker placement and tile drafting. On every turn, you choose which area of Egyptian culture you wish to develop as you strive for prestige points. Only the one who manages to achieve the most prestige throughout the eras will take the victory.

The sands of time are waiting for you.
