Read the full game description
Indiana Jones: Sands of Adventure is a cooperative real-time adventure inspired by Raiders of the Lost Ark. Players guide Indy, Marion, Sallah, and Marcus through three escalating rounds, exploring Tanis, gathering power, and battling Dietrich, Toht, and Belloq. Cards must match by color or object, so the group must build a shared sequence while choosing when to spend upgrades and character abilities. Gems steadily load the distinctive swinging timer; when it flips, everyone races to play attacks and survive before the sand runs out.
