About the game
Time is running out! It's up to Indiana Jones and his friends to rescue the Ark of the Covenant before it falls into the wrong hands! Scour ancient Tanis to find the elusive relic, while building up your strength and resources — but if the sand timer suddenly swings over, it triggers a race to survive! Battle the scheming Colonel Dietrich, the dangerous Major Toht, and the ruthless Dr. René Belloq to save the Ark. In Indiana Jones: Sands of Adventure, a game of co-operative strategy and quick card playing, players work together to defeat different villains before the timer runs out by moving characters, playing cards, upgrading tiles, and attacking enemies. -description from publisher
