{"product_id":"ankh-gods-of-egypt-pharaoh","title":"Ankh: Gods of Egypt – Pharaoh","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn ancient times, a single individual was chosen as intermediary between the gods and mortal man. This king was anointed as prophet, priest, and ruler by the gods themselves, and charged with maintaining Ma’at, cosmic balance and order, over the land of Egypt and its people. The right of law, the right of rule, the right of war, and of judgment were granted to the Pharaoh, and in his wisdom and with the gods’ guidance, Egypt prospered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhen the war of the gods began, each deity sought the Pharaoh’s support. Who better to champion their cause than the very mortal they had endowed with such powers? Yet, such a decision would upend Ma’at and throw the cosmic order into chaos. With the very sagacity granted to him by the gods, the Pharaoh declared that one man alone, however exalted, could not decide the war by fiat alone. The Pharaoh would watch, protect the people against the war’s worst depredations, and maintain Ma’at through the transition to monotheism while honoring all gods equally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThus, the Pharaoh balances the needs of the gods with the political and social needs of mortalkind. The battle in heaven shall not overflow into a civil war on earth, not so long as the Pharaoh still draws breath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Pharaoh expansion introduces a whole new dimension to Ankh: Gods of Egypt. This expansion brings the divine struggle closer to the world of men, and one man in particular: the Pharaoh of all Egypt! The gods will do well to send their priests into the royal palace in order to influence the affairs of the kingdom, manipulating the different offices in order to gain political advantage and steer the Pharaoh towards recognizing the ultimate divinity of the one true god. Your struggle may be divine, but if you fail to enforce your dominance over the human sphere of affairs, all that awaits you is oblivion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Pharaoh expansion comes with:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e31 figures:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- 1 Golden Pharaoh figure\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- 3 Ra Priest figures\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- 3 Isis Priest figures\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- 3 Amun Priest figures\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- 3 Osiris Priest figures\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- 3 Anubis Priest figures\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- 3 Horus Priest figures\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- 3 Hathor Priest figures\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- 3 Set Priest figures\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- 3 Thoth Priest figures\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- 3 Bastet Priest figures\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1 Palace dashboard\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e5 Sphinx tokens\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e4 Sphinx cards\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e40 Political cards\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1 Rules Booklet\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAdditionally, Kickstarter backers also get 5 Kickstarter Exclusive 3D sculpted plastic Sphinx pieces, as well as a Kickstarter Exclusive deluxe Palace Board printed on thick cardboard.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CMON","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40999714259101,"sku":"","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0402\/5411\/1901\/products\/pic6107850.jpg?v=1631830812","url":"https:\/\/thedorkden.com\/products\/ankh-gods-of-egypt-pharaoh","provider":"The Dork Den","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
