A two player tactical game of exploring temples with a very interesting map system.

Imagine you are in ancient greece looking at a map for an ancient buried temple. The map say there are 2 forests to the north, and 2 volcanoes to the south, and 3 mountains to the west. Now you have to not only find that place, but to discover the mountains, forests, and mountains as well. You physically discover them by placing the tiles, so you actually are creating the physical landscape to match the maps. This is the most interesting part of the game in my opinion. There's also a market system to gaining money, and a point based movement system to get around, but getting around is relatively easy with water routes you can use to get pretty far quickly, So movement is not really a hinderance, and does feel a bit like cheating sometimes. it's really only when the water routes don't connect and you have to traverse the land that makes it hard to get around. But you have to create the map that way to cause it. Overall it's an interesting 2 player game with some good replayability and as you get better at building the maps you get better and quicker at the game. I enjoyed it enough to own it.
