Product detailed description

Lead the most respected archaeological society of the early 20th century

Step into the fascinating world of early 20th-century explorers in this innovative worker-placement strategy game. As the head of a scholarly society, you lead a team of archaeologists on expeditions around the globe in search of relics, knowledge and prestige.

Your headquarters is London, where you secure funding, deepen your expertise at the university and plan your next bold discoveries. During the game, your archaeologists gain experience, becoming more efficient with every action they perform.

A unique mechanic triggers bonuses:
when a player places a less experienced archaeologist onto an action space already occupied by a more skilled one, both players receive a reward. This clever interaction adds an extra layer of strategy to every decision.

Send your explorers to legendary archaeological sites, collect relics, gain prestige and expand your scientific knowledge. But be careful — true success lies in balancing both prestige and scientific achievements.

Become the most respected society of this great age of adventure and boundless curiosity.
So… who will master strategy and skill to become the greatest explorer of all time?
