A remote jungle island has recently been discovered that is rumoured to contain a treasure trove of artifacts, geological finds, fossils and extraterrestrial specimens. Four “ologists” race to dig the site and unearth the treasures. Face jungle perils as you use direction cards + tool cards to dig the site (a 6x6 card grid) and beware of raiders and stealthy opponents.
This 2-4 player game will have you testing both your luck and your wits. Recommended age is 12+ .
At the start of the game each player will choose a role (geologist, archaeologist, palaeontologist, or astrogeologist - yeah that’s a thing!) As you dig the site you may keep any find to add points to your collection but those in your specialized field (as indicated by the letter in the top right hand corner of a find card) give you additional points in the form of field grants.
Not everything you dig up is rewarding. You’ll encounter snakebites, quicksand and twisters in the jungle that throw a wrench into your plans. Occasionally you’ll dig up an advantage that helps you keep digging.
In the action card pile, players will collect gadgets and actions that give them advantages while digging, allow them to thwart opponents and protect them from their opponents schemes.
With a mix of individual luck and strategy along with player interaction this game is sure to delight.
Pricing: Due to the game being print on demand it does have a higer price tag than games that are mass produced. The creator earns 20% of this list price.
Due to new packaging options the Meeples may not fit in the box. A larger box would cause the price to jump dramatically. The smaller box allows for a lower list price and shipping savings!
