About

In this strategy board game players collect funds by developing land spaces into farms quarries or hotels. The cash is used to stock up on gear needed to reach the central region of the map where valuable artifacts are buried. Each turn involves balancing expansion with preparation for the risky treasure hunt that lies ahead. The DOS and Super A'Can versions support multiple players competing to amass the most wealth and artifacts. Released in 1995 this DOS era title has a cult following with MobyGames listing it at 72% user score. The mix of property development and resource gathering creates a tense back and forth between growth and exploration. Multiplayer matches can stretch for hours as players trade deals and sabotage rivals. The simple 2D graphics and tile based movement give it a distinctly retro feel that fans of classic strategy games might appreciate.

Storyline

In this board game which is similar to Monopoly, players use money to build properties on the spaces they land on, such as farms, quarries or hotels. These will generate more money so the player can then buy supplies to go into the middle of the board and hunt for hidden treasure.
