📖 About This Game

In the hot desert sand, not far from the oldest pyramid in the world, you end up at an unknown excavation site. Where initially only worthless chunks of stone and broken vessels appear, you will soon come across more valuable finds. At the same time, you are trying to place these artifacts in a common collection in order to profitably transfer them to the local museum. Whoever manages to do this best is crowned the most successful archaeologist. On your turn, you can either play exactly 2 cards from your hand, or draw as many cards as you like, respecting your hand limit (max. 5) Try to play the cards strategically in the common display to reach a card value of 15 to gain prestige. The player with the most prestige wins.
