About the game
What you do in a play session
Your mission? Gather valuable relics, which serve both as currency to acquire new pieces and as points to complete collections. But beware, what you spend might end up in your opponents' reserve! The open drafting dynamic demands constant attention, as you need to wisely choose what to take and what to leave behind.
Explore different historical categories and periods, from wartime artifacts to Egyptian and Aztec relics. Patron cards reward you for specific collections, while Explorer cards bring famous archaeologists to boost your museum. Historical events can disrupt your plans, requiring adaptation and strategy.
Museum offers an engaging experience that balances the joy of collecting with the tension of negotiation and competition. It's a game that will challenge you to think ahead, manage your resources, and perhaps become the most renowned curator of the era. Perfect for those who enjoy card games with a strong thematic touch and accessible yet strategically deep mechanics.
