## Description
Digsaw turns anyone into a tabletop archaeologist! Each turn, you roll dice to decide where to cut your 'dig site' (a piece of paper) with scissors, trying to recover valuable artifacts without destroying them. It sounds simple but requires precision and strategy: only isolated artifacts score points. The game is quick (20-30 minutes) and plays well with 1-6 players, including a fun solo mode. The physical paper-cutting mechanic adds a unique layer — you literally reduce your map as you dig. Perfect for fans of light games with creative, hands-on interaction.

## FAQ
### How many games can you play with the same components?
Just one — you physically cut the dig sites during play, so you need new sheets for the next game.

### Do you really need scissors?
Yes! Cutting the paper is a core part of the game. Bring extra scissors if playing with kids.

### Does it work well solo?
Absolutely! The solo mode is challenging and keeps the excavation fun intact.

### Is it hard to learn?
Not at all — rules are simple, but mastering strategic cuts is the real challenge.

### What's the minimum recommended age?
8+ due to scissors use, but younger kids can play with supervision.
