Read the full game description
Antiquity Quest is a hand-management and set-collection card game inspired by Hand and Foot. Players draw, play, and discard while assembling collections of antiquities from six civilizations and rarer treasures. Perfect sets score best, mixed sets offer flexibility, and characters can accelerate a turn or strip the discard pile. Rivals may add cards to incomplete collections, turning a promising exhibit into a less valuable one, so timing matters as much as raw card value. A single round is brisk, while the full three-round game rewards consistent collection building.
