Under the Sand

Recent expeditions in the Valley of the Kings have been met with pitfalls, shall we say. Empty tombs, missing mummies, and curses! Your expedition seeks to land the big one though, sealed tombs full to the brim with treasure! 

In Under the Sand, players are members of an expedition. The role of lead explorer will shift around as much as the dunes surrounding your dig sites. Each turn a new leader will assign explorers to take a turn, alliances will rise and fall depending on who is selected when. Cards will shift around the deck and between players. Hold onto cards too long and you may be cursed! 

This innovative worker-placement style game plays in just 18 cards and with up to 4 players. Play by putting your thumb on the action to show it’s been taken. With only 4 actions per tablet card competition will be fierce! Each new tablet changes the game and the actions available. 

Players will find amusement in the Curses as they drain away Treasure back to the dunes or possibly elevate a single player to the win! 

Watch for useless Sand cards and try to bluff others into taking them from you. Strict hand limits will keep the game in check where no player will feel secure in their assumed victory. 

Dig in and explore the game as the players seek to keep themselves from falling for traps not only from the deck, but by other players as well. Pyramids may rise and fall under the onslaught of wind and sand, but who knows what depths the players may find as they search.

Only cards and a hook box with the rules printed on the inside are included with this game. If players would like to use tokens as their worker marker they will need to provide those.
