Tanis

About this board game

Tanis is a unique tile-digging game for 2 players, featuring 40 wooden tiles and a competitive play time listed as 30 minutes. The game’s description also notes that a single game takes under 20 minutes.

Named after the ancient city in Lower Egypt, Tanis begins with 40 beautiful wooden, domino-sized tiles randomly placed in a custom-made box. Each tile represents a piece of a scroll, and the players compete to reassemble these fragments during the game.

The tiles create the central puzzle of the experience, while cards provide special powers that players may use to enhance their actions. This combination of tile digging, scroll reconstruction, and card-based powers gives the game a distinctive format for two players.
