Jim (Ra), Lee (Anubis), Richard (Amun), and Steve (Isis) played the first scenario.

Amun the largest player on the board was forced to merge with (Anubis) the weakest player but with one more devotion. Thus, all six of Amun’s’ companions, three guardians two monuments and completely populated Ankh powers were reduced to 3 tokens. 

Isis controlled two provinces and remained inert while Ra collected devotions from his Ra powers plus uncontested monuments. Anubis acted as barrier to prevent Amun from stopping Ra’s rise to power. Ra won the game without much competition.
