  Game: Pyramid Challenge
  URL: http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ancient/egyptians/launch_gms_pyramid_builder.shtml
  Age Level: Middle to high school on up
  What it does: Player takes the role of an Old Kingdom vizier and handles details of constructing a pyramid, including complicated decisions about where to locate it, what to make it out of, what to feed the workers, and so on. There are details about ceremonies required to propitiate the gods and ensure success with the project. And it all has to be done before the pharaoh dies.
  Observations: Another well-polished BBC entry. Attractive design, smooth gameplay, high educational content.
  Up/Down: Thumbs up.
