24 games in this collection.
In an exploration game the board is revealed as you play, through tiles, cards or hidden maps. "Exploration" can mean revealing a map, finding new routes or discovering what an encounter holds. The question is how much you get to decide as those things appear. Watch the start of a game to see how discovery works, then stop if you would rather keep later surprises for your own table.
