Your goal is to build the largest and most coherent collection in this collection and bartering game. With over 300 individual illustrations by Vincent Dutrait and authentic architectural facts, it offers a unique experience. Each player starts with a small relic collection and then sends explorers worldwide to find more. Relics have values for adding to your museum or contributing to get other relics. 'Spent' relics go to your reserve, which your opponents can access. During the game, assemble collections from different categories and periods. Patron cards give bonus cards for certain collections, explorer cards let you hire famous archaeologists for museum bonuses, and event cards bring game - changing historical circumstances. Points are scored based on collections and their value at the end of the game, and the player with the most points wins. We're happy to back campaigns to offer this game on TheGameSteward. A significant portion of your purchase will support new Kickstarter games. If you have questions about buying or need game advice, contact The Game Steward.
How to play: First, each player gets a small collection of relics to start. Then, send your explorers around the world to find more relics. When you want to add a relic to your museum, check its value. If you can afford it, add it to your collection. 'Spent' relics go into your reserve. You can take items from the reserve by exchanging them for an equal amount of other items, but be careful as your opponents can access it too. Try to assemble different collections based on categories like war, agriculture, or periods like Ancient Egypt. Use patron cards to get bonus cards when you reach certain collection goals. Hire famous archaeologists with explorer cards to give your museum bonuses. Be ready for event cards that change the game based on historical events. At the end of the game, your score is based on your collections and their value. The player with the most points wins. Note: This is a Kickstarter exclusive, and paid add - ons from the campaign are not included unless stated otherwise. Keep the game components in a dry and clean place to prevent damage.
