This is a Gen Con event. To sign up, you must go through the Gencon system at Gencon.com
Grab your fedoras, bullwhips and snake repellent before setting off on your adventure to places uncharted. Who knows what dangers, trials or treasures await intrepid adventurers in this Dukes of Highland Megagame.
Explore ancient civilizations lost to the ages, collect artefacts more powerful than you could possible imagine or just derail your competitors to become the most renowned archaeologist alive!
Just remember that whatever you do find in the wilds of Gen Con...
IT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM!
Players will take on the roles of: Archaeologists, Researchers, Antiquarians and heads of museums as they struggle to collect artefacts from around the world, delving into deeper mysteries in the process. Expect: Dice rolling, mini game madness, character driven goals, diplomacy (involving all kinds of lies), quick decision making and resources management.
Event specifics
For this run, we're aiming on having a maximum player count of 45 players. The game will run for approximately 6 hours with plenty of breaks. You are welcome to sign up as groups and we’ll do our best to ensure friends play in the same team (between 2-3 players per team). If we do not get at least 15 players, we may be forced to cancel. If you buy a ticket, please do your best to attend or find someone to go in your place. Having players no-show makes things very difficult for game organizers.
For lots more information on our events, such as what to expect before the event, what you can expect on the day, please see our FAQ.
