About the Game

In this digital version of Red Raven Games' Roam, you and up to three friends compete to find lost adventurers. The game includes more than fifty unique, animated adventurer cards, from the world of Arzium.

Each turn, you activate one of the adventurers in your tableau to place explorer markers on a landscape card on the  board in the shape of the search pattern of that adventurer (think Tetris). When all six squares on a landscape card has been filled, the player who has  the most explore markers claims the card, finds the lost adventurer and adds them to their team. Each adventurer you find gives you points and a new search pattern that you can use.

When searching, you also claim coins, which can be spent to use special actions or win auctions. When one player has six adventurers in their party, the game ends, and the player with the most points wins.
