What it is

A game for 1 to 4 people who enjoy a long combo turn and the feeling of a plan finally clicking. Your tribe explores the map and populates ancient sites while you slot cards into a machine board for resources and actions. Each turn gives you two actions, and lightning bolt tokens can stretch that into something much longer. Claiming the last major artifact gives everyone else one final turn, then the game ends.

What we love

  • Hibernating resets your board, and when you choose to rest matters as much as the cards.
  • Each tribe has its own faction board and special ability.
  • Secret artifact cards add a last batch of hidden points.

Honest trade-offs

  • Long combo turns can leave others waiting.
  • The muted card colors are hard to tell apart, and the game is not color blind friendly.
  • Setup takes a while, as heavy games tend to.
