There is a lot of activity at the excavation! Yesterday a telegram arrived from the museum with a special task. The archaeologists must complete a collection for an upcoming exhibition. Will the players, working together as a team, win the race against time? The Mysterious Collection is a cooperative expansion for the game Faras. Instead of competing, players work together to achieve a single common goal. If you successfully gather a specific collection before the dam construction is completed, then you all win.
Faras: The Mysterious Collection supports 2–5 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.
