About the game

Players take the roles of paleontologists; exploring several dig sites around the world, collecting fossils to complete dinosaur specimens and delivering them to museums. The objective of the game is to gain victory points which can be gained by completing dinosaur specimens, claiming finished missions and selling fossils. Each turn players can move their boats, dig to find fossils, buy fossils, load or unload their boats, claim a finished mission or take up new missions. The game ends as soon as the fossil pieces run out, at which point the player with the most victory points is the winner.
