Ra is a board game for two to five players designed by Reiner Knizia and themed around Ra, the sun god of Heliopolis in ancient Egyptian culture. It is one of three auction games by Knizia, the others being Medici and Modern Art. The game was first published in Germany and later republished in an English translation by Rio Grande Games, with further English editions from Uberplay and again from Rio Grande Games. The most recent of these raised the player range from the original three to five players to two to five, but all editions use the same rules. Ra won the 2000 International Gamers Award and placed second in the 1999 Deutscher Spiele Preis, which marks it as one of the better regarded designs of its period in the hobby.
