“Thebes”

designed by Peter Prinz, published by Queen Games

Race around the world uncovering valuable archeological finds from Greece, Rome, Palestine, Egypt, and Mesopotamia! Spend “time” to travel around Europe as you pick up knowledge and assistants and tools to unearth artifacts from the five different sites. Spend even more time to improve your chances as you “dig” up the artifacts. “Dig” for the artifacts by making blind pulls from a bag filled with good, point scoring stuff and dirt. Lots of dirt. The more knowledge you have and the more time you spend, the more pulls you get, but be careful, you might just get dirt, lots and lots of dirt.

There is a great metaphor about “spending time” in this fun, fast-paced game that can get really, really frustrating.
