RULEBOOK

1
 A Game by Jacques Bariot and Guillaume Montiage,
illustrated by Pierre Santamaria, Pascal Quidault, Emile Denis and Mehdi Boukhezzer,
for 2 to 6 players, ages 14+. Game duration: 90 minutes

In the mythical age of ancient Egypt, powerful gods deploy their forces into battles for dominance of the land! Deep in the vast desert, and in the shadows
of enormous temples, they use their many powers to build their armies, summon mythological creatures, and obtain victory. The goal of these battles is to
crush all rival gods, and through the resulting fame, win the eternal devotion of the people of Egypt!

OVERVIEW
Kemet may be played in three modes: Classic, Teams, or Solo. In all cases, each player takes control of an Egyptian god: Anubis, Bastet,
Horus, Ouadjet, Sobek, or Seth, as they struggle for power using armies from their faction.
The following rules apply to the Classic Mode, which may be played up to 6 players. The other modes follow most of these rules.
The Team Mode allows players to fight in 2 or 3-player teams. The Solo mode is played against a virtual opponent called Amon.
The module Gods of Egypt gives you the opportunity to play your God on the board.

 3.3 Day Phase

At the beginning of the Day Phase, the 1st player is the active player.
The active player resolves the following steps in order:
1. They place 1 Action token of their color on an empty Action
space of their Player board observing the Equilibrium rule
(described below), and they immediately resolve the selected
action’s effect. In addition to the Action token in their color,
they may also play 1 silver Action token and/or 1 gold Action
token (described below) if they have any.
They may play DI cards with a DAY icon during their turn
before or after an action, and not during a Battle. A DI card
played that way is resolved, then discarded.
2. The player places the FP they won during this turn on their
Score track.
3. The next player in turn order becomes the active player and
plays their turn starting from step 1. If no player has any Action
tokens in their color to place, resolve the Night Phase.
Equilibrium rule
At the end of Day Phase, each player must have at least 1 Action
token (no matter their color) on each of the 3 floors of the pyramid
on their Player board (see Player boards, p.3).
Playing Silver and Gold Action tokens
Play these Action tokens at the same time you play an Action
token in your color to receive 1 or 2 bonus actions. You choose
in which order to resolve your actions, but each action must be
completely resolved before moving onto the next one. An action
may be chosen even if it cannot be resolved at the time you place
an Action token on it. If an action may eventually not be resolved,
it is lost.
Silver Action token:
Play this Action token on any empty Action spaces on your Player
board.
Gold Action token:
Play this Action token on the Divine Power space at the top of
the pyramid : resolve 1 Golden Action from a Power tile you own.

The Team Mode allows to play:

• a 4-player game, 2 vs 2,

Solo Mode concepts

The goal of the Solo Mode is to fight against Amon, your virtual
opponent, to complete the objective you choose at the start of the 1
game in a number of Rounds.
BEWARE! If, at any moment, the player has no more Units on the
Kemet board, they immediately lose the game.
The Solo Mode cannot be played with the Gods of Egypt module.

Setup

Follow the Setup for 2 players with the following changes:

Place the two pyramids that are chosen for this game, one above
the other and to not move them during the game (see the Plunder
cards effect). Shuffle the Power tiles from each Level with each
other to have them placed at random in their level line. 1

Choose a color for Amon.

Step 2.2 is modified as follows:

Resolve Amon’s setup before the player’s, following these steps:
1. Choose (or pick at random) 1 Objective card and place it near
the Amon board. 2
2. Place Amon’s Prayer marker on the number corresponding to
number of Rounds shown on the Objective card. 3

Action tokens acquired during the game and will have to follow
the Equilibrium rule.

Amon’s Troop Limit

Amon’s Troops may contain up to 6 Units at any time during the
9 game.

The War Table

The War Table lists Amon’s stats.
Shown values are the lowest and highest results that may be
obtained and that apply to either Amon’s Troops, separate from
bonuses given by a tied Creature or Servant.
When a card modifies a stat beyond 5 or below 2, that modification
is ignored.

draw a card from the Events deck.

For each PP you spend, move your Prayer token 1 space to the left
on your Prayer track.
You may never have more than 11 PP, or less than 0 PP.
Controlling a zone
A player controls a zone other than a District in their City as
long as they have a Troop in it. A player controls a District of
their City as long as there is no opposing Troop in it. Immediately
when a player has no more Troop in a Temple or an opponent’s
District with a Level 4 Pyramid, they give back the corresponding
Temporary FP depending on the situation.
Controlling an opposing Pyramid
A player whose Troop occupies an opposing District with a
Pyramid controls that Pyramid.
In Team Mode:
• If a Mixed Troop occupies a District containing a Pyramid, this
one is considered to be controlled by each of the Teammates
that have at least 1 Unit in their Mixed Troop. In any case, a
Level 4 Pyramid gives only 1 FP to the team that controls it.
• A player that has at least 1 Unit in the Troop that occupies a
District containing an opposing Pyramid or one belonging
to a Teammate is considered to be controlling that Pyramid.
Empty zone
A zone is empty if no Troop is in it, allowing that zone to receive a
Troop without triggering a Battle.
Units and Troops
All the Units belonging to a player in a zone form a Troop. A Troop
can contain 5 Units at most: this is known as the Troop limit. A
Companion tied to a Troop does not count towards that limit.
When a player adds 1 Unit, they take 1 Unit from their supply and
place it on the Kemet board; the effect states any restrictions.
When Units are removed from the Kemet board, for any reason,
they go back to their owner’s Supply.
Important! During an action, a Troop may temporarily exceed
the Troop limit, the Creature limit, and the Servant limit, provided
these limits are assessed at the end of that action in every zone.

Special thanks:
It’s been 12 years since the first edition of Kemet was released (2012). Yet, we’re pleased to see there is still as much
enthusiasm for this project as before.
This new chapter in our favorite gods’ adventures is a new occasion to thank our dear testers Claire, Stella, Etienne,
Pierre, Fred and Ian. Their precious feedback helped us in refining all details of the gameplay.
We’d also like to use this occasion to pay a new tribute to the team at Matagot for their involvement in this project:
Laura, Anthony, Auguste, Raphaël “Pikaraph” and Zongxiu.
Special thanks to Arnaud for his unwavering trust and wonderful suggestions.
Finally, we’d also like to thank all the players who made it possible for Kemet Blood & Sand to live on with such
passion.
Hoping to see you soon around sandy and blood-stained gaming tables…

Guillaume and Jacques
