Curious Expedition

You lead an expedition in a late-19th-century race to explore unknown regions, find golden pyramids, and bring back valuable discoveries. Choose an explorer and assemble a team of companions, each with different strengths and drawbacks. Travel across procedurally generated terrain, planning routes while managing food, water, equipment, health, and sanity. Visit villages to trade or communicate with local people, and explore temple ruins for treasure while risking traps, curses, and other consequences. Expeditions also bring encounters with wild animals, mystical creatures, and dinosaurs, resolved through turn-based dice combat. Across a series of journeys, weigh the value of treasure against the risk of carrying it onward, and use your discoveries and expedition results to build fame and prepare for what comes next.

Lead a 19th-century expedition through shifting wilderness, managing supplies and sanity as you search for treasure and golden pyramids.
