📖 About This Game

Build obelisks and sculpt sphinxes in the most thriving areas of the Nile. But watch out for the swelling! The lowest areas could be flooded. Nilo is a tile placement game in which players must direct the course of the Nile River and build buildings around it, trying to sink rival buildings and raise their ships. Each round the players must place one of their tiles on the table and draw another, when the last flooded river tile is completely surrounded by other tiles or when the river's rise counter of one whole calendar turn the river will overflow. the tile with the lowest value will be flooded, destroying the buildings on it and leaving the ship afloat. When there are no more tiles left to draw, the player with the most buildings standing and the most ships afloat wins. BGC Málaga 2023 - Best Spanish Family Game
