Where it came from
Ramses II is a strategy board game designed by Reiner Knizia and published by Ravensburger in 2007. It emerged during a period of prolific output for Knizia, who sought to create a family-friendly game that combined memory mechanics with a shifting modular board. The game is set in ancient Egypt, tasking players with finding hidden treasures beneath shifting tiles, reflecting a thematic interest in archaeology that was popular in European game design at the time.
The game is characterized by its colorful, approachable aesthetic, which features high-quality plastic components and a pyramid-shaped board design. Upon its release, it was noted for its simplicity and the tactile satisfaction of its sliding board mechanism. While it does not carry the complexity of Knizia's heavy strategy titles, it was well-received by critics for its balance of accessibility and light tactical depth, earning a nomination for the Kinderspiel des Jahres in 2007.
