About the Game

Unearth the fascinating world of fossils with Fossil Sweep! Fossils come in various forms, from hardened animal bones to intricate plant imprints.

In Fossil Sweep, players use strategy and decision-making to match the fossil layers on the cards in their hands to the card layers on the dig site. Cards have different point values, and the goal of the game is to discard as many cards as possible within each round. The player with the fewest total points at the end of the game wins!

This strategy and decision-making game can be played by 2-5 players ages 8 and up in 20 minutes.

BONUS: Game includes a fun fact insert that teaches players about prehistoric eras when fossils were formed.
