Sfynx

About this board game

Sfynx is a riddle-solving board game for 1–4 players, with games lasting around 40 minutes. Every 25 moons, the mysterious Sfynx open a gateway to their sunken city, offering access to vanished splendors and forgotten knowledge.

To enter, adventurers must solve nine riddles before the clepsydra empties. Each riddle challenges you to manipulate tiles on the 5×5 grid known as the Antechamber, arranging their positions to match the patterns shown on the Riddle cards.

Your available turns are limited, so every action matters. Plan how to use your moves as you work through the patterns, seeking the most effective way to complete all nine riddles before time runs out.

• Manipulate tiles on a 5×5 Antechamber grid.
• Match tile positions to patterns on Riddle cards.
• Complete nine riddles within a limited number of turns.
• Play with 1–4 players, including dedicated solo rules.

The board is reconstructed every time you play, giving Sfynx a high replayability factor. The changing setup ensures that each attempt presents a new arrangement to understand and solve.

Solo players can use the included rules, while the difficulty can be adjusted to suit the challenge you want. Whether you are racing the clepsydra alone or solving the riddles with others, success depends on careful tile manipulation and efficient use of your turns.
