Inspired by the classic game Ra, players guide their civilization through the Old, Middle, and New Kingdoms of ancient Egypt. As cards are revealed, players choose actions to advance aspects of their society, from monuments to agriculture. When three Ra cards appear, scoring is triggered. After the New Kingdom is completed, the player with the most points for developing their society is crowned the victor. Packed with 110 cards, 200 game sheets, and pencils, Ra and Write combines Knizia’s elegant scoring with modern flip-and-write mechanics, offering endless replayability. Review: Great smaller game - This is such a fun flip (3 cards) and write (choose which one and check it off) game. There is a regular board game called RA and it's fun, too. But, I like the simplicity of playing this way. Knizia is a winner at all the games he has made. This is no exception. This is great for 3-6 people ages 10 thru adult. I'm in my 60s and our game group is teens on up. It was liked by all. Review: Our new favorite game. - Easy to learn and amazingly fun to play over and over. Cards are high quality and it even comes with pencils. ## Features - Flip-and-Write Strategy – From acclaimed designer Reiner Knizia, based on his classic game Ra. - Civilization Building – Advance your society across the Old, Middle, and New Kingdoms of ancient Egypt. - Card-Driven Play – Draw cards to trigger actions, record progress, and score across multiple eras. - Replayable Depth – Variable scoring opportunities and card combinations ensure no two games are alike. - Complete Game Set – Includes 110 cards, 200 game sheets, 5 pencils, and a rulebook. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0FP4L8CBC | | Age Range Description | 12+ | | Best Sellers Rank | #112,231 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #2,769 in Dedicated Deck Card Games | | Brand Name | 25th Century Games | | CPSIA Cautionary Statement | Choking Hazard - Small Parts, No Warning Applicable | | Color | Multicolor | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 12 Reviews | | Edition | Standard Edition | | Educational Objective | Enhance strategic thinking and historical knowledge | | Estimated Playing Time | 45 minutes | | Game Mechanics | card-driven, flip-and-write, variable scoring | | Genre | Strategy | | Included Components | 110 cards, 200 game sheets, 5 pencils, 1 rulebook | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Item Dimensions | 6 x 2.5 x 0.1 inches | | Item Dimensions L x W | 6"L x 2.5"W | | Item Type Name | Board Game | | Manufacturer | 25th Century Games | | Manufacturer Maximum Age (MONTHS) | 1188 | | Manufacturer Minimum Age (MONTHS) | 144 | | Manufacturer Part Number | TFC44000 | | Material Type | Cardboard | | Minimum Age Recomendation | 144 | | Model Number | TFC44000 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Number of Players | 2-5 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Rulebook Availability | Printed Included | | Set Name | Ra and Write | | Size | 6 inches | | Theme | Ancient Egypt, Civilization, Writing Game | | UPC | 850037822232 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Images ![Ra and Write - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71RXmcxvrqL.jpg) ![Ra and Write - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81LJuB9LA0L.jpg) ![Ra and Write - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81kn7jHXZLL.jpg) ![Ra and Write - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Am6D0QohL.jpg) ![Ra and Write - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91e6pFP6pgL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great smaller game *by C***S on July 12, 2026* This is such a fun flip (3 cards) and write (choose which one and check it off) game.
