Mythical Tricks of Ancient Civilizations is a fast, tactical two-player trick-taking duel set in 1870, during the height of archaeological exploration

 Check it out on BGG



Rival scholars compete across a series of expeditions, presenting ancient artifacts to outshine one another and earn academic glory. The game uses a compact 20-card deck, where players capture Gold and Silver Stars by winning tricks, or by combining matching halves of ancient treasure maps into major discoveries.

All cards belong to an ancient civilizations and must match to win a trick — but Atlantean artifacts overshadow all others, acting as a powerful, ever-present threat. Early in an expedition, players may act freely; as resources run low, the rules gently tighten, encouraging more careful play and thoughtful decisions.
