About the Game

In Dig and Collect, players take on the role of fossil hunters exploring deep geological layers to excavate the remains of ancient creatures. Your goal is to balance your limited funds and research skills to manage an excavation site while aiming for legendary prestige.

During the game, players conduct field surveys by revealing cards from the deck, which represent visible strata. Through excavation actions, you will spend tool skill icons to acquire fossil cards. The game features a strategic resource loop: you must decide whether to immediately "sell" common fossils to fund better equipment, or "collect" them for endgame points. Upgrading your initial skills into professional tools is crucial for excavating harder, more valuable strata.

The game challenges you to collect sets of the same species to unlock significant research points. The ultimate challenge lies in the "S-Rank" Final Fossil. Only with peak equipment and careful resource management can you hope to excavate this prehistoric giant.
