Karnak Game Review

At the end of my first game of Karnak, the most recent release from D.V.C. Games, I stared at the board in wonder. This was not because I was besotted; Karnak takes a few goes to reveal the full extent of its joys.

I can’t remember the last time I played something that would have been entirely alien to me up until I read the rules. That doesn’t happen too often when you’re in this business.

I’ve never played anything quite like Karnak, though I’ve played games that include the various aspects of the design. I’ve played building and stacking games, both cooperative and competitive. I’ve played myriad games with secret goals. I’ve played games that allow you the opportunity to stab other players in the throat. I have ample experience with all of these, and yet. Ne’er before have I played something like Karnak.
