📖 About This Game

"Lagerstätten" is the German word for veins of rock rich in fossils, and this term in Japanese is "化石鉱脈" (化石 Kaseki = fossil, 鉱脈 Koumyaku = vein). Lagerstätten, a.k.a. 化石鉱脈, is a worker placement game, themed on excavating fossils, collecting sets of fossil types, and managing your resources (money, fame). During the game, you send workers to action spaces so that they can: Dig to gain rock samples Prepare the samples to uncover the fossils Present a paper at an academic conference to gain fame Exhibit your fossil collection to gain income Sell your set to a collector (based on demand from request cards) to gain income Will you be successful in your career as a paleontologist? ••• 学術的に貴重な保存状態の良い化石を産出する「化石鉱脈」。 あなたは古生物学者となり 太古の生物の謎を解き明かし、研究資金を獲得するため 「化石鉱脈」の発掘調査に乗り出します。 化石の含まれた岩石を発掘し、多くの化石を復元しながら 収集家からの依頼に応えたり、博物館への展示を行うことで 研究資金の獲得を目指します。 また、学会での発表を通して名誉を得れば その後の発掘調査が行いやすくなるでしょう。 あなたは、古生物学者として大きな成功を収めることができるのでしょうか。
