- 6 Structure cards (2 copies of 3 structures)
- 11 Unit cards
Unit Cards
Each Unit card shows its name, its unit type (in the banner above the card art), three stat values, its keywords, and its ability text.
The sheet prints the three stat values as three coloured icons: a gold icon, a red icon and a blue icon, read left to right. The sheet has no legend for these icons. The values below are listed in that printed order (gold, red, blue). The base game's Heroes cost 0 coins, and every Hero in this set shows 0 in the gold icon, so the gold value is the Unit's Cost. The red value is its Strength, and the blue value is its Offering Value. Check these against the printed card if in doubt.

The sheet shows six Structure cards: two copies each of three structures. Each structure has a BUILD value, a restriction on which Units may be used to build it, and a COMPLETED ability with 2 VP. The sheet prints this structure's name as "Great Ampitheater" (the spelling is the sheet's own) and it is transcribed as printed.

Gameplay
Omen: Champions of the Nile introduces 11 new units for your games of Omen. It also includes 6 new Structure cards usable by combining previous Omen sets.
Metal Favor Token
Simply replace the favor card in Omen: Heir to the Dunes, and use the token instead.
The Metal Favor token has no rules of its own on the sheet. It uses the Favor rules of Omen: Heir to the Dunes, which are not restated in this rulebook; read them from the Omen: Heir to the Dunes rulebook.
Units
The units in Omen: Champions of the Nile are compatible with Omen: A Reign of War, any Omen standalone function, as well every configuration of those sets. Add the units to those of the same type in their original Omen sets. When adding that unit type to games of Omen, include the units from Omen: Champions of the Nile.
Structures
The structures in Omen: Champions of the Nile are meant to be used with the Omen: A Reign of War by itself or in combination with Omen: Edge of the Aegean and Omen: Fires in the East. These structures follow the same rules as those in Omen: Heir to the Dunes, with the only difference being the limitation on what type of units can be used to build them.
