Excavation Earth^*

Excavation Earth is an economic game from Mighty Boards: a century after humanity's end, you lead alien expeditions digging up human artifacts and selling them as curated art collections to museums back home. For 1 to 4 players aged 14 and up, about 30 minutes per player.

How it plays

Over three rounds you draft multi-use cards and play them in quick turns: move explorers across the world map, excavate artifacts, send traders to bazaars and deploy influencers to manipulate prices or deal on the black market. You can sell individual pieces to the landed spaceships or whole collections to the museums. Whoever has earned the most money after three rounds wins.

Who is it for?

Expert gamers who want a market-and-pricing game with plenty of interaction and a tongue-in-cheek theme. The solo mode by Nick Shaw and Dávid Turczi is included.
