Lagerstätten

Vorwort

"Lagerstätten" is the German word for veins of rock rich in fossils, and this term in Japanese is "化石鉱脈" (化石 Kaseki = fossil, 鉱脈 Koumyaku = vein).

Lagerstätten, a.k.a. 化石鉱脈, is a worker placement game, themed on excavating fossils, collecting sets of fossil types, and managing your resources (money, fame). During the game, you send workers to action spaces so that they can:

• Dig to gain rock samples
• Prepare the samples to uncover the fossils
• Present a paper at an academic conference to gain fame
• Exhibit your fossil collection to gain income
• Sell your set to a collector (based on demand from request cards) to gain income

Will you be successful in your career as a paleontologist?
