Product Information
Board Game Geek Rating: 6.20. Board Game Geek Avg Player Rating: 7.58. Suitable for 2 to 4 players and published in 2019. This is the Kickstarter Edition of the Roam Board Game. Note that paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included unless stated otherwise. Welcome to Arzium, a land full of ancient civilizations, strange creatures, mysterious wonders, and lively characters. A strange sleeping sickness has swept across the land, making all kinds of creatures wander aimlessly for hundreds of miles. Your task is to find them, wake them up, and recruit them to help you find more lost souls! In Roam, you and up to three friends compete to find lost adventurers. The game comes with over fifty unique, tarot - sized adventurer cards featuring characters from Near and Far, Above and Below, and Islebound. The reverse side of each card shows a landscape divided into six squares. Two rows of three of these cards form the board. Each turn, flip an adventurer card face - down to activate it. Activating an adventurer lets you place search tokens on the board in the pattern shown on the card. When all squares on a landscape card are searched, the player who searched the most claims the card, adds the adventurer to their party, and gets points and a new search pattern. While searching, you can also claim coins to use special actions or buy useful artifacts. The game ends when one player has ten adventurers in their party, and the one with the most points wins.

Using the Roam board game is easy. First, gather 2 to 4 players. The game board is made up of landscape cards from the adventurer cards. Each turn, pick an adventurer card from your party and flip it face - down to activate. Then place search tokens on the board according to the pattern on the card. When you've searched all squares on a landscape card, if you've done the most searching, you get to claim the card and add the adventurer to your party. This gives you points and a new search pattern. While searching, collect coins to use special actions or buy artifacts. The game ends when a player has ten adventurers in their party, and the one with the most points wins. It's important to note that this is the Kickstarter Edition, and paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included unless otherwise stated. To maintain the game, keep the cards in a dry place to prevent them from warping or getting damaged. If you have any problems or questions, don't hesitate to contact The Game Steward.
