This game immerses players in a universe filled with Egyptian deities, pharaohs, and an array of ancient symbols that makes for an exhilarating gaming experience.

The genre lives on levels that teach one idea at a time, a gentle but real difficulty curve and hints or undo options. Book of Ra understands that, and it shows in the first minute of play.

Tips and tricks
- Count. Tiles, moves, colours, matches — many puzzles are secretly arithmetic, and a quick count reveals the plan.
- Use undo or restart freely. Experimenting is how you learn the mechanics; there is no penalty for trying an idea.
- Do not memorise solutions, memorise principles. The level after this one will use the same idea in a new arrangement.
- Read the whole board before your first move. In most puzzle games the first move is the most important one, and it deserves ten seconds of looking.
