Excavation Earth

A century from now humanity is gone, and its leftovers are lying around in the dirt. You lead a party of alien explorers who have come to dig up our junk, because to them it is priceless art. Each of the three rounds opens with a card draft, and every card doubles as an action. You then send explorers across a world map, excavate artifacts, and place traders and influencers in the bazaars to push prices your way and work the black market. Every find can be sold on or kept for your own collection. It is a heavy, two-hour economic puzzle with a delightful premise: aliens treating our old stuff like museum pieces.
