Chapter 1 – A Game of Death and Riches

There’s a legend that’s existed since the time of the Egyptians. The last Pharaoh, King Ammon, was able to obtain the rarest riches in the world at the time because of his wisdom, beneficence, and skill as a ruler. When he died, he buried his riches with him, but he allowed people to inherit his treasures if they complete a series of seven games. If you lose, your soul is trapped with his in his tomb. Thousands of people have played this game throughout the centuries, but no one has heard of anyone winning.

Bernardo Briscola is an archeologist and gambler who is trying his hand in this game. Because of King Ammon, the country of Africa is a country of games with multiple cities and towns that center around gambling and games. He is going through Egypt that is a city much like Vegas. It is filled with bright lights, casinos, arcades, and sports stadiums. The only people that live here are ones that live to play.
