📖 About This Game
Based on the movie of the same title, players move around a world map collecting cards and try to obtain the Ark, Staff of Ra, and the Map Room.
Players can move by rolling the die and trying to pass through a country space to get a card. Some paths have checkpoints which require a Passport to avoid losing a turn. Ambush and Hostage cards are played against opponents to steal one of their cards, or make them lose a turn.
As soon as one collects the Ark, Staff, and Map cards at once (only 1, 2, and 3 of which are available), they move to a designated country to win.
