## Description
Get ready for a nostalgic adventure with 'Raiders of the Lost Relics', a card game that transports you directly into the golden age of 80s action and adventure movies! Created by three talented Brazilian illustrators, this tableau-building game dives deep into pop culture, offering an experience full of adrenaline and references that fans will love. Here, you take on the role of a fearless relic hunter, searching for the rarest and most coveted artifacts in the world. Your goal is to assemble a group of unique characters, each with special abilities that can change the game's rules or secure valuable points. These characters possess different skill levels such as Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, and Occultism, which are enhanced with equipment cards. Each piece of equipment not only boosts your skills but can also bring instant or permanent effects, further altering the game's dynamic. By strategically equipping your characters, you can meet the relic requirements and add them to your collection. The first player to accumulate eight relics triggers the end of the game. Victory goes to the relic hunter with the most points, which are calculated from collected relics, characters in your tableau, fulfilled contracts, and end-game scoring bonuses. It's an exciting race against time and your opponents to become the greatest relic hunter of all!
