Easy to learn. Impossible to play just once.
Teach it tonight
Start with Explore: place a card when its prerequisites are on the table, chain linked cards to score. 3–6 players, 30 minutes.
Five games, zero boring nights
When Explore feels easy, move on to bluff, risk, card placement — and Fusion, which combines them all.
Solo night or full house
Add one or two virtual “automata” to play solo or as a pair. Bluff and Select take up to nine players.
A museum in your hands
Every card is an original Clarys watercolour with its period and date — history you learn by playing.
54 cards. 54 original watercolours.
Benoît Clarys paints every discovery straight from the archaeological record — a precise line, then the colour. Game night has never looked this good.
Three moves. Endless strategy.
Place a card only when its prerequisites are on the table.
No cooking without fire. Each discovery opens the way to the next — gathering, barter, fire, bows and arrows — and together the players grow humanity's tree.
Chain discoveries. Rack up points.
Same family or a shared prerequisite keeps the series going: the first card earns 1 point, the next 2, then 3, then 4. Open a new era for a special action and a bonus.
Bluff like a caveman.
In Discovery Bluff every card goes onto a single pile and only the last one stays visible. Anyone can shout “Stop!” to challenge a move. Remember every card — or hope nobody else does.
3.2 million years. One evening.
One deck, five games.
From a gentle first game to an expert challenge, for 1 to 9 players — add one or two virtual “automata” to play solo or as a pair. All five rules come in the box.
