Explorers*
At the start, each explorer places four landscape tiles—grassland, water, desert, or mountains—and three scoring tiles in their playing area. Players then embark on an exploration journey from their starting village.
Exploration cards display two types of landscapes that players can traverse. On a turn, a player reveals an exploration card, chooses one landscape type, and moves forward three spaces. Strategically marking spaces is essential to avoid getting stuck due to poor landscape choices. Players will expand their area over four rounds, receiving special actions for each marked box containing an object, and points for provisions and gems. The game includes a solo mode and additional challenge tiles for experienced players, offering over a million potential game combinations.
