Ankh God of Egypt review:

Ankh: Gods of Egypt is an area control game designed by Eric Lang and produced by Cool Mini or Not. It’s the 3rd game in a trilogy of area control games designed by Eric Lang. In Ankh, you control an Egyptian god who is competing for the devotion of your followers. You’ll summon monsters, build caravans and convert followers in your quest to reign supreme!
