The ancient relics had lain dormant in the darkest reaches of the jungle since time immemorial. But once word of their discovery broke out, all manner of would-be archeologists rushed in...
In Relic Runners you are a fearless Explorer, traveling the jungle in search of lost temples full of forgotten treasures and relics. Armed with nothing more than your trusty Pith Helmet and a nose for rare antiquities you'll explore Temple Ruins and Shrines and undertake Expeditions in a race to unearth the most treasure! A successful expedition requires skillful planning – building Pathways; carrying plenty of Rations, and expanding your Explorer's Toolbox to help you travel the jungle, resupply, take additional actions, and score bonuses.
Matthew says
"Relic Runners is my very first published board game, beautifully brought to life by the folks at Days of Wonder. It is based on the Travelling Salesman problem in mathematics, which asks you to plan to most efficient route for a postman to travel between different towns without backtracking - this would end up making it into the game as the ‘Relic Runs’ which players need to complete to claim the precious relics."
