Relic Runners

Players portray rival explorers racing through a remote jungle to reach temples and recover unearthed relics. Movement follows interconnected paths and is limited by available rations, but players may place markers to unlock free travel later and upgrade a personal toolkit in one of three ways to gain movement or rule-bending advantages. Visiting temples yields tokens that provide points or bonuses; when the last token from a temple is taken, a relic appears to be claimed. Scoring rewards collecting varied relic types, building long routes, and using travel efficiently to maximize victory points.
