Archaeologia (2014)

About this game

Designer/artist/publisher : Olivier LAFFONT aka Grob le Gueux Spellchecker/rulewriter : Jérémie VUILLARD Translated into English from the back of the box : "BECOME THE GREATEST ARCHAEOLOGIST OF YOUR TIME... Step back into the archaeological period of the 1930s. Dig into several strata and discover various eras : the Bronze Age, Prehistory, the Cretaceous and the Jurassic. Use your tools and other means at your disposal so as to become the greatest archaeologist. But be careful : black market and thieves are common things on archaeological sites..."

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.2/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
