Game Description

Take on the roles of archaeologists, and set out on a remarkable journey to the heart of Africa!

The game Faras tells the story of the most famous Polish archaeological expedition to Sudan. Its participants discovered a priceless Early Middle Ages cathedral filled with remarkable paintings in an area which is now covered by the waters of the artificial lake Nasser.

The gameplay is based on a memory mechanism, but players set up the board and tokens themselves, so they are able to build patterns that will help them memorize the tokens. During play, each player manages a set of archaeologist cards that grant special actions and abilities. Whoever collects the most tokens wins.

Take part in the rescue of ancient cultural relics. Race against time, watch out for scorpions, and complete the excavations before the cathedral is flooded under the waters of the artificial lake!
