Key Features

• ArcheOlogic is a competitive deduction game whose goal is to be the first to find the exact location of the buildings of the City. To help you, you will use the Archeoscope — the only research instrument capable of reading the coded cards left by the Ancients.
• Ask the Archeoscope your questions by adjusting its cogs, note the precious answers, and replace the buildings on your plan. Think carefully — some questions will take more time than others, but maybe their answer will make you win the game.
• In ArcheOlogic, you do not play in a fixed order. It is your turn to play when your pawn is in the last position on the Time Track of the central board.
• On your turn:
  • Determine the question you want to ask the Archeoscope.
  • Move your pawn forward on the Time Track as many positions as the cost of your question.
  • Ask the Archeoscope by setting its cogs, draw the coded card, place it below, and read the answer.
• You can ask questions about:
  • Buildings (e.g., how many cells of the square are there on axis 3?)
  • Traps (e.g., what traps are present on axis A?)
  • Empty Zones (e.g., how many empty zones are there on the C axis?).
  • Set the Archeoscope by turning its cogs to the chosen question, take the coded card, place it below and read the answer given.
  • As the game progresses and you gather more answers, place the buildings on your map.
• If, at the beginning of your turn, you believe you have found the exact layout of the buildings, move your Time token forward 4 positions and check your solution using either the online app or the rulebook.
• If correct, you win!
• If wrong and using the app, continue playing.
• If wrong and using the rulebook, you are eliminated.
