What to Expect
You manage your own museum of magical exhibits, acquiring pieces or activating them with runes. Activated effects resolve left to right and can be chained to create combos that generate applause and income. Some powerful items come from a black market option that carries extra risk. Scoring at the end comes from exhibits and admiration tokens on them.
Who Is This Game For?
Suited for families and hobby gamers aged 10 and up (min_age 10) who enjoy card-driven set collection and hand management. At about 30 minutes per game, it's ideal for short sessions or as a light filler on game nights. Familiarity with combo-focused card games helps but isn't required.
How It Works
Core mechanics include Hand Management, Set Collection and Income: you build collections, manage your hand, and generate money. Variable Set-up provides variety between plays, and Solo/Solitaire rules allow single-player games. On your turn you acquire or activate exhibits; activations trigger in sequence and can form chains that produce applause and resources.
