Product Description
Review
If building and managing cities is your passion, then Pharaoh is the game for you. It puts you in charge of building the ancient Egyptian civilization, complete with work camps, temples to Bast and, of course, pyramids.
Unlike some games of this type, where you build one city indefinitely and watch the population climb, Pharaoh is divided into missions. Players are given a goal--a desired population, food storage targets and cultural achievements. Play continues until the target is met, unless the city succumbs to plagues, debt or outside invaders first.
Pharaoh is loads of fun. The mission goals are tough but attainable and city building for a finite time span will appeal to players who find unending development a bore. The usual juggling of civic needs for water, food, entertainment and jobs is well balanced.
The range of industries, religious practices and municipal services is engaging, and the graphics are clear enough that it is easy to tell what's going on in the city. The mission-by-mission format allows the game to present a few challenges at a time, providing novelties for new levels of play. Take charge of the Nile Valley and become a legend! --Alyx Dellamonica
