Egizia - Tips & Strategies

The “Draw +2 Sphinx cards” permanent Nile card and the “During final scoring: For each 10 points you scored take 1 point more” are the two most powerful cards in the game. Many players feel that both imbalance the game significantly, and most online gaming sites have options for excluding either or both of these cards from play.

The “Draw +2 Sphinx cards” is especially powerful, allowing the player that claims it to invest minimally at the Sphinx for a potentially huge gain. It’s presence along the Nile usually results in harsh competition as players jostle to claim it. And the “During final scoring: For each 10 points you scored take 1 point more” Sphinx card is just as near-broken, awarding it’s owner 5-10 points for doing absolutely nothing.

Keep an eye out for both of these cards, both are usually worth the effort and sacrifice you’ll need to make to claim them.
