★★★★★★★★★★
Build an empire that will live forever. Compete to become the most famous ruler of all time as you wield almost god-like powers over the course of three major Epochs in Egyptian history. Collect tiles representing various aspects of Egyptian life and civilization while your rivals try to do the same. Wisely use the few tokens that Ra, the sun god, has given you to earn your place of honor in the Valley of the Kings.
With stunning HD graphics and trademark attention to detail and theme, this latest offering from developer and publisher Sage Board Games makes it simple and entertaining to play a quick game of Ra with your friends or by yourself -- no matter where you are!
With no setup time required, no pieces to lose, and no arguments about the rules, the future of board games is here and Ra gives you exactly what you want -- to play!
Place your iPad on a flat surface and the game will automatically adjust so that players on both sides of the device can view the interface. Pick the iPad up and you're ready for pass and play. Load this universal app on your iPhone or iPod Touch and you've got your new favorite iOS game in the palm of your hand!

OpenFeint
OpenFeint is a widely adopted service that provides:
1) Leaderboards
2) Achievements (there are over 40 you can unlock in Ra!)
3) Turn-based (asynchronous) online multiplayer play
You'll need to create a free OpenFeint account (you'll be prompted to do this the first time you run the new version) and then you will be able to challenge other OpenFeint players to play Ra online with you (an internet connection is required, of course.)
Once OpenFeint is enabled, playing solo, local multiplayer, or online multiplayer will allow you to unlock the achievements which range from the very simple (win an auction with a full tile track) to Herculean tasks (score 15 Pharaohs.) You will also post your score and ELO rating to the online leaderboards when completing a game.
