Since 2021, Excavation Earth: Second Wave has captivated fans of hand management and set collection with its medium complexity design.
How It Plays
Hand Management
You have a hand of cards and deciding which to play, save, or discard is the core puzzle.
Market
There's a shared marketplace where prices shift based on what players buy and sell — supply and demand in action.
Point to Point Movement
You move between connected locations on the board — the map's layout decides your travel options.
Set Collection
You're gathering matching groups of cards or tokens to score points — the more complete your sets, the better you do.
About This Game
Second Wave is the first expansion for Excavation Earth, introducing two new races - the Collectors and the Influencers - along with new game-play elements and ways of scoring. The Observation Barge, which lets you further manipulate the market demand for artifacts and score points at the end of the game. Achievements add a whole new way of scoring by completing set goals and Racial Wildcards give each race their own, more powerful action card to boost their round! —description from the publisher
