Excavation Earth
Players lead alien expeditions scavenging a future-Earth for human-made artifacts and building curated collections to sell. Each of three rounds begins with drafting a hand of multi-use cards that dictate available actions; on their turns players spend cards to move explorers on the world map, excavate sites for artifacts, and deploy traders and influencers to affect bazaar prices and black-market deals. Artifacts can be sold immediately at bazaars or assembled into themed collections for museum sales back home. The game resolves after three rounds and awards victory to the player who accumulates the most money. A solo mode is included.
