{"product_id":"faiyum","title":"Faiyum","description":"\u003cp\u003eAncient Egypt depended on the Nile floods and Faiyum was an artificial basin that provided a controlled area of flood plain. It was gradually developed into productive farmland. This is the task facing players in the game: turn the crocodile-infested swamp into farms, towns and workshops – and construct the odd monument. Pyramid, anyone?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is all powered by cards: play a card and do what it says. This could be clearing a farm, building roads, establishing a settlement or something else. And, while there are any left, collecting a bounty for clearing those pesky crocs out of the way. The problem is that, at some point, you'll need to get your cards back. This takes a whole turn and costs money. Plus, you must retrieve cards in the reverse order you played them in. This is where careful planning pays off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf course, you can buy more cards. These will let you do more and different things, but now you've got even more cards in your hand... More things to think about!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis edition is the bilingual (English and German) one from Friedemann's imprint, 2F Spiele.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor 1-5 players, aged 12+, playing time 120 minutes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFaiyum\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ewas designed by Friedemann Friese and is published by 2F Spiele\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFind out more:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e    \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cem\u003eFaiyum\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e on \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.boardgamegeek.com\/boardgame\/318983\/faiyum\" title=\"More about Faiyum at Boardgamegeek (in a new window)\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBoardGameGeek\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e    Pevans's first impressions of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eFaiyum\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.pevans.co.uk\/TWJO\/TWJO0211.pdf\" title=\"To Win Just Once issue 211 (PDF, 1 Mb)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eTo Win Just Once\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e211\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Games from Pevans","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58452155007301,"sku":"728","price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1072\/0116\/7685\/files\/Faiyum-cover.jpg?v=1783095657","url":"https:\/\/games.pevans.co.uk\/products\/faiyum","provider":"Games from Pevans","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
