What this is
In Kemet, players play as warring Egyptian Gods and build the most powerful army to dominate Egypt. Once every player has taken five actions, night falls, with players gathering Prayer Points from their temples, drawing Divine Intervention cards, and determining the turn order before the start of the new day. During the day, choose an action amongst the nine possible choices provided by their player mat and perform it immediately.
