We had four players tonight for gaming and pulled out my brand new copy of Egizia by Rio Grande Games. Jeff and I had played before but Nick and Rosie had not so we began by taking a few minutes to go over the rules. The game involves the players running work crews who work on various monuments along the Nile River valley. Mechanics-wise Egizia is a worker placement game and resource management game that includes a neat mechanic wherein you place worker boats as you move down the Nile but cannot (unless you have a special card) place a boat upriver of your previously placed boats.
The game runs for five turns and the mechanics are learned by the time the second turn begins. Everyone really enjoyed the game. I won followed by Nick, Jeff, and Rosie though the scores were close for everyone. This is one of my top two games from Charcon.
