In Cover Your Asps, players navigate the newly discovered Egyptian temple of Ombi Quadi to collect the treasures hidden within its inner chamber. Cobra-like snakes called asps are the guardians of the temple. Asps are ready to attack from myriad snake pits. These pits are surrounded by quicksand, which is impenetrable by foot. Use planks to build platforms to cover the quicksand and pits and get to the inner chamber. Navigate your pathways around granite slabs that raise and lower to block your path. Reach the center of the temple and escape with a valuable treasure, but beware of the scorpion which your opponent will unleash. Play in rounds until all treasures have been recovered. Each round has three phases: Build, Collect, Escape. Four antechambers allow up to four players to compete against each other. Configurable game board for a variety of challenge levels. —description from the publisher
