About the game
What you do in a play session
In Buried Memories, you transform into a fearless explorer, delving into the layered remains of long-forgotten civilizations. The objective is simple, yet the journey is full of excitement: scour excavation sites, unearth precious relics, and complete ancient statues and vases. The big twist here is the 'push your luck' mechanic: you decide how deep you want to go each turn, revealing more and more tiles from the dig site. Each artifact found can yield valuable points, but beware! If you unearth two identical creatures, your turn ends immediately, and you might lose what you've collected. It's a delicate balance between the greed for more treasures and the caution to avoid being caught off guard. As objectives are completed, sealed envelopes are unlocked, revealing new content, never-before-seen artifacts, and even more intriguing ways to unravel the mysteries of the past. Gather gemstones, assemble your vases and statues, and carefully manage risk to reach the score goal before your rivals. Every opened envelope not only enriches the current game but also adds surprises and extra content for your future explorations. Get ready for an archaeological adventure where every decision counts and luck can turn at any moment!
