About the game
Digsaw is a roll-and-cut game in which anyone can become an archaeologist! Each turn, players roll dice and use scissors to physically cut apart their dig site to recover priceless artifacts buried in the earth. Make careful cuts in an attempt to excavate artifacts one at a time until you have cut your dig site into little pieces. A skilled archaeologist needs both precision and patience because at the end of the game, only isolated artifacts will score! Are you a "cut" above the rest? Only the best student can be raised to the coveted position of senior archaeologist! —description from the publisher

Questions and answers
Digsaw supports 1–6 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 Digsaw is 20–30 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 Digsaw for ages 14 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.
Digsaw has a complexity rating of 1.3 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.
