Relic Hunters

About the game

What is Relic Hunters?

This island holds ancient relics. It’s too hard to dig them out without an expedition. Luckily for you, there are many expedition members lined up in the south who are willing to aid your expedition...for a bit of coin of course. No coin? No problem. Just a little exploring can get you enough coins to hire expedition members. Direct your expedition north and dig out the hidden relic! But do it before your competition... In more detail, players will use the cards in their deck to move their meeples over a grid of tiles. When they move on a tile they flip it. There can be immediate rewards, dig sites which require additional cards or the relics needed to win. Players can choose to return to the base camp to buy more cards to add to their deck. Dig up the relics first to win! —description from the publisher
