Collection Status
Description

CONTENTS
Pyramid frame, pedestal, golden cobra, 16 jewels (4 are spares), 4 baskets in 4 colors, 4 ankhs, circular turntable

OBJECT OF THE GAME
To collect 3 jewels and an ankh, seize the Golden Cobra and be the first to escape with it to the stairs leading from the pyramid to the outside world.

A simple luck driven children's game based on the Egyptian pyramids.
What is very unique in this game, is the turntable device. It operates as a dice, dictating the moves of the players, and at the same time it opens and closes the traps, causing some pieces to fall into the snake pit and start again.

Additionally when the turntable moves some windows will show the Pharaohs eyes in one of these 3 positions:

OPEN = trapdoor is open
HALF CLOSED = the trapdoor might open next turn
CLOSED = the trapdoor will not open next turn
