About the game
What you do in a play session
Pack your backpack and your pickaxe, because we're heading to the heart of Sudan! In König Salomons Schatzkammer, you aren't just a tourist, but an archaeologist on a frantic mission to unearth King Solomon's lost treasures. The setting is a mysterious excavation site where wealth and danger walk hand in hand. The standout feature here is the depth of the terrain: items aren't just scattered around, they are stacked! You'll need to use excavation cards to decide where to dig, but watch out, because the logic is vertical: to reach what's underneath, you must first remove what's on top.
As you strip away the layers of earth, you might find anything from valuable relics that guarantee an immediate fortune to magical objects that can be used as shields against the site's dreaded curses. It's a race against time and luck. Will you choose to sell everything you find to secure your profit, or will you save some items to protect yourself from an unexpected setback? The goal is simple but the execution requires strategy: at the end of the expedition, whoever has accumulated the greatest wealth is the winner. It's a game of risk management and tactile exploration that captures that classic Hollywood adventure feeling, where every layer removed could reveal a fortune or a serious problem!
