Ever wanted to be a mining tycoon exploring Africa for the next Obuasi? Perhaps you already are, but for others, the next best thing may be Explorium, a new board game from New York, N.Y.-based 49th West Games.
Explorium involves strategy, role-playing and trivia. Players can take their companies to the jungles of Brazil, the vast deserts of the Sahara, or even the desolate regions of Siberia.
The race starts as you set the gold, silver, and copper prices for the game from the live “ticker tape” on the game’s web site. The properties you buy and the fortunes you find determine your net worth. Players must find ways of financing their projects, including accruing massive debt.
As few as two or as many as six players can play at one time. Emplorium is designed for ages 12 and higher.
