Rise of The Mad Pharaoh

Overall a decent room! We did it with 6 people of varying skill levels, and it seemed to work well. The fact they allow up to 12 seems insane though, I would not go over 8 by any means. The room revolves around 1 large centerpiece. There are many non-linear elements. It felt like in some areas they could go the extra mile, but didn't. This had the potential to be a standout room, but instead is a well-rounded above-average room. We had a good time and it can hold larger groups well (5-8).

We did this with a group of 8 and that was way too many to fit into this room. There were some neat set pieces but with that many people, one of the challenges was to keep track of who had what piece at any time. I’d recommend a group of 4-6. There were also some technical issues that the game master had to resolve. One of the longest running games in the area, it makes sense that the tech isn’t as shiny as a lot of the newer rooms.

This was my second ever room, and I played it with a large group, which left plenty to be desired as there wasn’t enough to do to satisfy that many players. That said, I think this is a great beginner room, especially for a smaller team.
