Description:

Four millennia ago, on the eastern bank of the Nile river, was laid the foundation of the Temple of Amun-Ra. Over the course of 2,000 years the temple complex was gradually expanded and became widely known as "The Most Select of Places" (Ipet-Isut), boasting the largest religious building in the world. Today, the site is known as Karnak, located at Luxor in modern-day Egypt.

Join ancient Pharaohs in creating and growing one of the most impressive sites the world has seen, honoring the Egyptian gods Horus, Ra, Hathor, Bastet, Thoth, and Osiris. You must carefully manage the balance of your actions, preparing for the reckoning by the goddess Maat.

The shadow... the unique dice mechanism in Tekhenu
Tekhenu is a strategy game with an innovative twist on dice drafting with each die changing some of its characteristics depending on whether it is in the sun, in the obelisk’s shadow – or in the twilight zone between.

The game board is divided into six sections, each associated with an Egyptian god: Horus, Ra, Hathor, Bastet, Thoth, and Osiris. In the center stands an impressive obelisk (Tekhenu) casting its shadow onto different parts of the board. As a result, the area around the obelisk will be divided into sunny, shaded, and dark sections, depending on how the obelisk casts its shadow at that particular moment. As the game progresses, the sun's rotation will alter which sections are sunny, shaded, or dark.

There are five different color dice: white, yellow, black, brown, and gray. Depending on the color of the die and the position of the obelisk's shadow, each die will either be considered Pure, Tainted, or Forbidden. While you may never draft Forbidden dice, you are always free to draft any other die, whether Pure or Tainted.

Dice drafted from the sun or dark – depending on their colors – will push you towards purity or taint your soul. An imbalance in favor of Purity carries no negative outcome whereas a Tainted imbalance may result in loss of victory points. A perfect balance between Pure and Tainted dice, however, will result in a more favorable turn order.

When drafting a die, you must not only consider the general availability of dice, but you must also consider which value die to draft and how your chosen die will affect your overall balance and power of action you want to perform!

The game is played over four full rotations of the titular obelisk, each seeing players draft dice to build statues, pillars, houses, farms and mines, to produce resources, or raise their population and its happiness in order to gain access to valuable special ability cards.

  • 1 large obelisk – the titular Tekhenu

Great sunscreen, but too pricey!
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love COOLA products. They are a good substitute for my favorite sunscreens by Bare Republic - which was discontinued. Unfortunately COOLA products are very pricey. For that reason, I must use other brands where it makes sense. Trader Joe's spray sunscreen works very well and is $5.99. Coppertone Water Babies works for water sports. I'm saving my $28 COOLA lotion sunscreen for when I need a non greasy odor-free sunscreen, for example when I spend time in the sun followed by lunch out or shopping.

Would recommend this sunblock!
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Loved this sunblock for my stay abroad in the Caribbean. Left no white cast, and barely had any sunblock smell. Felt like a lotion if anything, and best of all, I didn't get burned! Would recommend.

Great product for south Florida resident.
I LOVE this sunscreen so much! I have tried so many different sunscreens and they always leave me greasy and shiny in a few hours time. I live in south Florida and I know the importance of protecting my skin especially my face against the harsh sunlight. This sunscreen feels light and mousterizes my skin without leaving it greasy and oily. The light cucumber scent is absoluteltly lovely but in no way overpowering. It goes great under my makeup and doesn't have the sunscreen heavy feeling that I despise. It's a little pricey but I do plan on buying again when I run out. P.S my boyfriend also occasionally uses this moisturizer and he also enjoys it and says it feels like great quality stuff.

Organic face lotion and sunscreen in ONE!
I had been looking all over for an organic face lotion and sunscreen and was having a hard time. I tried several that left a white residue on my face and then I found this one. It has a nice, light, relatively thin consistently that absorbs very easily, without any residue or caking. I have tried both the unscented and the cucumber and I like both. I find the cucumber scent refreshing and not overwhelming- although I know others didn't like it. I think the 1.7 oz last about 3-4 months, which was awesome! And it is small enough to travel with on a plane! This is a fantastic product! I only wish it didn't cost so much!
