Matagot Plan For New Version Of Kemet With Blood & Sand

January 7, 2020 by brennon

Matagot Games have had a lot of success over the years with their masterful "dudes on a map" game, Kemet. The game sees you taking on the role of Egyptian Gods vying for control of this ancient land, goading their followers to war and seeking to win glorious victories on the battlefield.

Well, this game is now going to be getting itself a brand new take on it thanks to Matagot, the work of Jacques Bariot and Guillaume Montiage and lots of input from a very dedicated community which has been playing this game for a few years now.

Blood & Sand is going to be an updated, refined, reinvented version of Kemet which takes things to the next level.

Here is what they had to say about the game this week...

"Kemet: Blood and Sand features new art and upgraded gameplay with new approachable rules that go beyond the 1.5 version of Kemet developed with the help of the BGG community. Free from the constraints of existing components, designers Jacques Bariot and Guillaume Montiage go even further in fine-tuning the Kemet experience. The game also features a redesigned map with a twist, bigger and more detailed figurines, and other surprises."

Now, I don't think that the game particularly needs bigger and more detailed figurines or a redesigned map currently but for those who haven't played Kemet, this should be a nice new option for them to snap up.

The real question is whether or not all of the expansions for the original version of the game are going to work with this new updated take on Kemet? Surely the core mechanics are going to stay the same?

What do you think of the news about Kemet?
