Archaeology

When we think about Archaeology, it is difficult not to remember the films featuring the iconic character played by Harrison Ford: Henry Jones Junior, or simply, Indiana Jones. Although he had other notable roles in cinema, it was as Indiana Jones that he won the public's heart, awakening a fascination with adventure and exploration.

Pedagogical Tips

If you're looking for a quick game that's easy to explain and to learn, withouth language barriers, intuitive and offers a variety of educational stimuli, Archaeology is your game!

Pedagogically, the game brings several references to archeology with the artifact cards, and this can yield good stories, and even some research in books or on the internet to show your children how enchanting and important the work of archaeologists is. You can take advantage of this and talk about history and geography, in a very light and fun context.

Mathematical-logical thinking will always be present when trading with the marketplace and selling to the museum, and also by managing your hand of artifact cards, knowing whether you already have the complete set collection for a good sale, and even preparing for what you will unfortunately lose in the event of a sandstorm.

In fact, the thief and sandstorm cards bring a cool surprise factor to the game, generating good expectations with each card drawn from the dig site deck. This will certainly create good moments to remember, given the famous “good vibes” that you get from this game.

Memory will also be greatly stimulated during the game, as you can encourage the child to memorize what the opponents have already taken so as not to put what they are looking for on the market, or even to use it to your advantage when the thief is in your hand, to know who is the better target to take a card from. Encourage the use of memory.

Management and strategy work together. Pedagogically, Archaeology provides several necessary and important stimuli for your child! Enjoy it!

I recommend Archaeology in your collection!
