Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of early 20th century explorers in The Royal Society of Archeology.

As the leader of a learned society, you lead a team of adventurers on expeditions around the globe in search of relics and knowledge. London serves as your headquarters, where you secure funding, deepen your expertise at the university, and plan your next bold discoveries.

Your archaeologists gain experience as the game progresses and become more and more efficient at performing actions. A unique mechanism allows you to trigger bonuses: If one of you places a less experienced archaeologist on an action space already occupied by a more experienced archaeologist, both people receive rewards. These strategic interactions add additional depth to your decisions.

During play, you will send your researchers to legendary archaeological sites, collect relics, gain prestige, and expand your scientific knowledge — but keep in mind that your success depends on the balance between your prestige points and scientific achievements!

Grace ★★★★★

The pre-order wait was worth it—leading my own learned society through expeditions feels like stepping into a 1920s adventure novel, and the gameplay loop of managing my team of explorers is oddly addictive. I’ve already sunk five evenings into it without noticing the time fly by.

Scarlett K. ★★★★☆

The expedition planning has great depth, and I really appreciate how the crew's unique skills affect each dig site. My only small wish is for a bit more variety in the early artifacts.

James P. ★★★★☆

I enjoy the strategic depth of organizing expeditions and managing the society's resources, though the rulebook could be a bit clearer on scoring. The setting really captures that early 20th century explorer vibe perfectly.
