The game features a unique blend of competition and cooperation: while you may compete for valuable action spaces, there’s also room for collaboration. In the spirit of scientific discovery, you can assist your rivals in completing iconic fossils like the T-Rex or Stegosaurus, allowing both players to score points.

You have 5 rounds to fill your exhibition rooms. Each round consists of four phases : receive income , build and fill your museums, open the doors to your museums and gain prestige, finally, you unearth new fossils and attract returning patrons. After five rounds, the game ends and whoever has collected the most prestige has built the most impressive museum and wins!

Fossilium is a science-based game developed in collaboration with the Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin (Natural History Museum).
