Board Game Geek Rating: 5.54. Board Game Geek Avg Player Rating: 7.46. This is a 1 - 4 player board game published in 2020. It's a Kickstarter exclusive collector's pledge from Mighty Boards. The bundle includes the core Excavation Earth Board Game, Second Wave Expansion, KS Exclusive Artifacts Promo Pack, metal coins, and all unlocked Stretch Goals. Note that paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign aren't included unless stated otherwise. In the future, all that's left of Earth is human detritus. Alien races from a neighboring solar system love extinct - race artifacts. In Excavation Earth, you lead an alien explorer race to dig for rare human artifacts and build an art collection to sell. The game has three rounds. Each round starts with players drafting multi - use cards for actions. Then, players take turns to move explorers, excavate artifacts, deploy traders and influencers. Artifacts can be sold to bazaars on alien ships or added to a collection for museums. The game ends after three rounds, and the player who earns the most wins. It also has a solo mode by Nick Shaw and Dávid Turczi. At TheGameSteward, we're happy to back campaigns to offer games like this bundle.

To play Excavation Earth, start by setting up the game board and getting all the components from the bundle, like the core game, expansion, promo pack, and metal coins. In each of the three rounds, first draft a hand of multi - use cards. Then, take turns to use these cards to move your explorers around the world map, dig for artifacts, and place traders and influencers. When you find artifacts, you can choose to sell them to the bazaars on the alien ships or save them for your collection. Remember, the goal is to make the most money by the end of the three rounds. If you're playing solo, follow the rules designed by Nick Shaw and Dávid Turczi. Keep in mind that the paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included unless stated.
