Product Details
Become a palaeontologist and create a prestigious museum exhibition filled with dinosaurs, flying reptiles and giant prehistoric mammals. Collect fossil cards, study their unique abilities and combine them to build an increasingly powerful research engine.
On each turn, place a marker at a Dig Site and select one of its available fossils. Cards kept in your Study provide immediate or recurring effects, helping you collect amber, gain advantages and prepare valuable sets.
Displaying a fossil earns points but permanently removes its useful ability from your engine. Choosing the right moment to move a specimen from research into your museum is essential, as waiting too long may allow another player to claim the most valuable exhibition bonuses.
- Fossils provide useful abilities: Cards in your Study generate immediate and recurring effects that improve later turns
- Exhibiting dismantles your engine: Displayed fossils score points but no longer provide their card abilities
- Amber pays for exhibitions: Spend amber equal to a fossil’s size before adding it to your museum
- Sets reward careful collecting: Build groups based on prehistoric families or matching fossil sizes to earn Set Tokens
- News Tokens can change hands: Create a larger version of another player’s set to take its corresponding publicity bonus
- Dig Sites restrict placement: Markers cannot return to a site you already occupy until they have been reclaimed
