Renowned Explorers: International Society

In a fictional 19th-century world, you lead a crew of three explorers aiming to build fame through expeditions and treasure hunting. Choose specialists from a roster of 20, whose skills and personalities shape how the team handles challenges.

Explore procedurally generated locations on expedition maps, encountering hazards, resources, treasures, and story events. Character abilities can open different options in events, while choices affect the crew's risks and rewards. Expeditions also provide resources such as Gold, Research, Status, and Insight.

Conflicts are turn-based and can be approached through aggressive attacks, friendly speech, or devious intimidation, with the crew's abilities and the encounter's mood shaping your tactics. Use expedition resources to support future trips, develop a reputation around different approaches, and choose Adventure mode's no-reload rule or Discovery mode's ability to reload.

In the supplied reviews, players often enjoy the unusual option to handle conflicts with words as well as force, and the ways crew combinations change each run. Many also praise the charming characters, humorous events, and replay value of exploring different locations and strategies. Some reviewers find the systems hard to learn or explain, and opinions differ on the tactical depth and difficulty.
