About the game
The museum’s storage is in chaos, and an incredible new discovery of amazing fossils is on its way straight from the excavation site. It’s time to see who can organize the fossils best. All fossils are catalogued from 1 to 6, according to their type: dinosaur fossils, plant fossils, marine animal fossils, or the extraordinary ambers with insects preserved inside. But we can’t just store them randomly — first we need to understand what the museum already has, and then they must be placed in order, ideally grouped by type and without repeating one that is already on display. Space is limited, so we’ll have to choose and stack them carefully, and in the end we’ll see who is the best curator of our museum with the most organized collection. —description from the publisher

Questions and answers
Âmbar supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Âmbar is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Âmbar for ages 7 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Âmbar has a complexity rating of 1.7 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
