The game board in Tekhenu: Obelisk of the Sun is divided into six sections,

each associated with an Egyptian god. In the center stands an impressive

obelisk (Tekhenu) that casts its shadow onto different parts of the board.

As the game progresses, the sun's rotation alters which sections are sunny,

shaded, or dark. That in turn tells the players what action they can

perform and with what effects.
