Artifact (2004)

About this game

From the publisher... Artifact is an exciting strategy game that sends players around the world to recover missing treasures. From Armenia to New Zealand, you search the world for lost and stolen artifacts as the leader of the Interpol's world-class Artifact Recovery Team. Which countries will you return artifacts to first? How good are your negotiation skills? Can you trust your informants to give you reliable information? Your goal is to advance around the board by successfully recovering artifacts. You will face time-sensitive challenges that test your memory and press your luck. But be careful! It's a race to the bitter end, as players can easily come from behind to win! With the perfect combination of strategy, knowledge, and a little bit of luck, you can succeed in the amazing world of Artifact.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.9/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
