The adventurers have set off from their camps to explore the surrounding land. Each temple and pyramid they find can reward them with valuable treasures as long as they have control over the tile when the game ends.

Of course, once discovered, no player wants to lose their newly found buildings, so use caution. The other players are also aware of the opportunity that has arisen, and the newly gained fortune may be lost again just as quickly to another player.

Expedition Luxor is a re-imagination of designer Rüdiger Dorn's older family game Robber Knights, with new artwork that fits the world of Luxor and larger cardboard tiles than the original game. What were knights that conquered the surrounding land are now adventurers who discover temples and pyramids to take the treasures within.

Whoever places their landscape tiles and adventurers the most skillfully throughout the game will be the winner.
