Thebes: The Tomb Raiders*
Europe in the early 20th century is full of exotic cultures and artifacts that intrigue archaeologists. Players expand their knowledge to embark on expeditions to Egypt, Mesopotamia, Crete, and Greece. The game revolves around a timeline where players spend time on various actions to gain knowledge about five civilizations, which they utilize to "dig" and draw cards containing treasures and dirt. The game ends when players can no longer take actions due to time constraints, and the player with the highest score from their collected treasures wins.
