📖 About This Game
THE WHATNOT CABINET
A Game of Rare, Unusual and Intriguing Objects
CURIOUS COLLECTIONS
Everyone enjoys discovering small, precious objects along beaches, trails, and the wilderness, but a special few have a knack for assembling those found objects into a curio collection. Leave your house, uncover intriguing objects, assemble them in your whatnot cabinet, and create a wonderful collection of curiosities.
OBJECTIVE
Collect tiny objects and score the most points by creating the best whatnot cabinet. Each round players travel away from home to find trinkets and doodads to add to their cabinets. As they do, they score curio points for sets of like objects, different, and various other unique setups.
