📖 About This Game
As a field research photographer, follow in Darwin's footsteps by exploring the Galapagos Islands and cataloging their unique and diverse wildlife.
Exploring Galapagos is a drafting, bidding, and set collection game for 2-5 players.
The game takes place over three rounds. Each round begins with setup, then includes up to three turns followed by scoring. Every round, each player tries to maximize their score by drafting cards and/or locking in one of three scoring methods. Each player's round score is determined using their scoring method, their hand, and the face-up shared hand in the center of the table.
