The oasis basin of Faiyum was created nearly 3,900 years ago during Egypt’s Middle Kingdom by expanding the Bahr Yussef canal connected to the Nile. Under the rule of pharaohs such as Amenemhet III and Sesostris II, this swampy land was transformed into fertile farmland through a vast network of canals and dikes — becoming the granary of Egypt.

Detailed information

Product detailed description

Bilingual Edition (English & German)

The oasis basin of Faiyum was created nearly 3,900 years ago during Egypt’s Middle Kingdom by expanding the Bahr Yussef canal connected to the Nile. Under the rule of pharaohs such as Amenemhet III and Sesostris II, this swampy land was transformed into fertile farmland through a vast network of canals and dikes — becoming the granary of Egypt.

Now, during the reign of Amenemhet III, you are one of the pharaoh’s advisors, tasked with building roads, founding settlements, harvesting goods, and developing the Faiyum region. Everything you construct belongs to the pharaoh, meaning other advisors can use your structures and roads — but your true reward is the pharaoh’s respect.

Faiyum is a strategic game for planning enthusiasts. Players play cards one by one into their discard pile and later retrieve them in reverse order, making the sequence of actions essential. Newly acquired cards go straight into your hand, so timing and card combinations are key. Each card’s effect is simple, but only by creating the most efficient “engine” will you become the master advisor of Faiyum.

The game features card mechanisms reminiscent of deck-building and the market system from Power Grid. Acquire valuable cards, use the board’s structures to your advantage, and prove yourself as the pharaoh’s most cunning strategist.
