Description:

Four millennia ago, on the eastern bank of the Nile river, was laid the foundation of the Temple of Amun-Ra. Over the course of 2,000 years the temple complex was gradually expanded and became widely known as "The Most Select of Places" (Ipet-Isut), boasting the largest religious building in the world. Today, the site is known as Karnak, located at Luxor in modern-day Egypt.

Join ancient Pharaohs in creating and growing one of the most impressive sites the world has seen, honoring the Egyptian gods Horus, Ra, Hathor, Bastet, Thoth, and Osiris. You must carefully manage the balance of your actions, preparing for the reckoning by the goddess Maat.

The shadow... the unique dice mechanism in Tekhenu
Tekhenu is a strategy game with an innovative twist on dice drafting with each die changing some of its characteristics depending on whether it is in the sun, in the obelisk’s shadow – or in the twilight zone between.

The game board is divided into six sections, each associated with an Egyptian god: Horus, Ra, Hathor, Bastet, Thoth, and Osiris. In the center stands an impressive obelisk (Tekhenu) casting its shadow onto different parts of the board. As a result, the area around the obelisk will be divided into sunny, shaded, and dark sections, depending on how the obelisk casts its shadow at that particular moment. As the game progresses, the sun's rotation will alter which sections are sunny, shaded, or dark.

There are five different color dice: white, yellow, black, brown, and gray. Depending on the color of the die and the position of the obelisk's shadow, each die will either be considered Pure, Tainted, or Forbidden. While you may never draft Forbidden dice, you are always free to draft any other die, whether Pure or Tainted.

Dice drafted from the sun or dark – depending on their colors – will push you towards purity or taint your soul. An imbalance in favor of Purity carries no negative outcome whereas a Tainted imbalance may result in loss of victory points. A perfect balance between Pure and Tainted dice, however, will result in a more favorable turn order.

When drafting a die, you must not only consider the general availability of dice, but you must also consider which value die to draft and how your chosen die will affect your overall balance and power of action you want to perform!

The game is played over four full rotations of the titular obelisk, each seeing players draft dice to build statues, pillars, houses, farms and mines, to produce resources, or raise their population and its happiness in order to gain access to valuable special ability cards.

Simple Fix for Tight or Hard-to-Reach Outlets
This outlet extender works great for making tight or hard-to-reach outlets easier to use. It plugs in securely and gives you better access without having to struggle behind furniture. It’s simple, does exactly what it’s supposed to, and feels solid once plugged in. The only thing is it adds a little extra bulk, so space can still be tight depending on your setup. Overall, a convenient and practical solution for everyday use.

Exelent choice no more hinging cables
I recently purchased the EZ Outlet Electrical Outlet Extender, and it has been a total game-changer for my home. I have a few outlets behind furniture and in tight corners that are almost impossible to use, and this product solved that problem instantly. The extender itself feels very sturdy and well-made. The most useful feature is the flexible, gooseneck-like arm that lets you bend the outlet away from the wall. This allowed me to easily plug in my lamp and a few other devices that were previously unreachable. I also love the extra ports. The two regular AC outlets, a USB-A port, and a USB-C port are incredibly convenient. It's great to be able to charge my phone and my laptop from the same spot without needing a separate charging block. The USB-C port is particularly fast, which is a huge bonus. Setup was as easy as plugging it in. There's no complicated wiring or anything to deal with. It's a simple, elegant solution that works exactly as advertised. If you have any hard-to-reach outlets in your home, I highly recommend this product. It's well worth the investment.

Looks good, adjustability is super nice
This is attractive (for what it is) and is working well, I really like the adjustability - the only downside so far is that the USB ports are on the underside where I'm using it, so are basically unusable on a regular basis unless you want to leave a cable dangling from it, tho if you had it run up or to the right from the outlet, that wouldn't be a factor.
