⏳ Releasing at Essen SPIEL (October)!
In Royal Society of Archeology, your workers are explorers you'll manage between two critical fronts: dispatching them to London's districts to prepare for future expeditions, or sending them directly to uncover archaeological sites across the globe.
The core of the game lies in efficiently managing your prerequisites (experience, knowledge, funding) to launch successful expeditions that will earn you relics, prestige, and scientific knowledge. Each London location plays a specific role in helping you build your engine:
The University to expand your knowledge.
The City to secure valuable funding.
The Royal Museum to exhibit your discoveries and boost your reputation.
But what truly sets Royal Society of Archeology apart are its clever mechanical twists that will delight strategists:
🧠 Tense Dual Scoring Tracks: Manage both your Prestige and Scientific Knowledge. At the end of the game, only your lowest score will count. Balance is paramount!
📈 Evolving Explorers: Your workers aren't just simple pawns. They gain experience, making their actions more powerful and unlocking new possibilities as the game progresses.
🤝 Unique Beneficial Interaction: Placing your explorer in a spot already occupied by a more experienced rival isn't punitive. The novice gains a learning bonus, while the mentor earns renown. A subtle and positive interaction mechanism.
🏆 A Race for Objectives: Be the first to publish your findings in Bloomsbury for the best rewards, and cleverly combine public and secret objectives to maximize your points.
🎲 Immense Replayability: Forget identical starts. Asymmetrical setup allows you to choose your starting resources and a unique special ability right from the beginning of the game.
Royal Society of Archeology challenges you to explore, progress, and write history. Will you rise to the occasion?
