Fossils
An incredible new dinosaur graveyard has been discovered; and if the early findings are any indication; it could be a treasure trove of fossils and bones like the world has never seen! In Fossilis; 2 to 5 players become paleontologists working the dig site with shovels; whisk brooms; and chisels looking for a find that could make their career.
Each round; players get two actions to dig at the site or make an extraction. As they remove the top layers of sand; clay; and stone; they'll discover trace fossils; which can be exchanged for tools; the plaster necessary to extract bones; and discovery points. As they delve deeper; precious bones will be exposed. They can make a careful extraction if they have the right amount of plaster; but sometimes shifting the earth to cover up a find and slow down the competition is the right move. Bones on their own can be valuable; but museums are really interested in more complete specimens. Sets of bones can be exchanged for museum cards worth big points!
Fossilis features a unique 3D dig site board; with recessed pockets filled with dinosaur bones; and thick; chunky terrain tiles that cover the dig site. Players have to use strategy; timing; and a little bit of luck if they want to make the best discoveries; get their name in all the paleontology journals; and of course; win the game.
