How to play Thebes

In Thebes, players travel between cities to gather knowledge, tools, and permits, then spend time excavating archaeological sites for artifacts. The time track makes each choice cost days, so it feels like a careful race to prepare well and dig at the right moment. It suits families and newer strategy players who enjoy set collection and light planning; it plays with 2 to 4 players in 60 minutes and is best with 3.
