Curators

Imagine this: you are in charge of a museum and it is up to you to make it something special. In Curators you build new wings, collect objects and make sure visitors queue up to admire your collection. You decide what goes into the display cases and how your museum grows. Your staff are the heart of the game. They are represented by five tiles, which determine the actions you can take. Choose a tile, flip it over once you have used it and a new action appears on the other side for later. Do you have two identical actions in front of you? Then you may use them together and get twice as much done in a single turn. That way you keep making choices that really matter. Along the way you borrow famous objects from other museums, such as a Roman soldier's dice tower or the skull of a Neanderthal. To score points with them, you have to fit them together like a puzzle by colour and by position, a bit like tetris. In the end only one museum is left standing to take home the prize for Museum of the Year. Whether you play on your own or with up to four friends, the feeling of building something beautiful stays the same.
