Amun-Re is a board game designed by Reiner Knizia and first published in 2003 by Hans im Gluck in German and by Rio Grande Games in English, with a further edition later released in the Netherlands by 999 Games. Three to five players take the roles of ancient Egyptian dynasty leaders bidding for influence over fifteen provinces along the Nile and constructing pyramids across two scoring phases (the Old and New Kingdoms), with games typically set up in about five minutes and played in sixty to ninety minutes of bidding and strategic decision-making. The game won the 2003 Deutscher Spiele Preis, one of the hobby's most prominent annual awards.
