Treasure of the Pharaohs (1974)

Overview

A 3-dimensional board game set inside an Egyptian pyramid, where the winner is the first player to pass through all the hazards in the pyramid and discover the treasure hidden in the sarcophagus.

Players take it in turns to roll the dice and move their explorer along the track, following the directions on the board and negotiating the various hazards, including: The Great Stone of Cheops; The Spiral Maze; The Pit of Snakes; The Wheel of Anubis and finally the sarcophagus itself.

As well as a basic board, the game comes with 2 triangular cardboard inserts which together form the shape of a pyramid, a square plastic tub and spinner (the sarcophagus) which holds the treasure token and the 3 curse tokens, and various other plastic objects to represent the hazards.
