Relikt

About this board game

Relikt is a card game for 3–5 players that takes about 40 minutes, inviting treasure hunters on an adventurous search for valuable finds.

With a little imagination, the game brings an exotic expedition to the table. Picture riding through the jungle on an elephant, battling mosquitoes and sweat, and facing dangerous adventures in pursuit of gemstones of incredible value.

Over the course of the game, players try to discover the most valuable treasures for themselves while giving cursed treasures to their opponents. The central challenge is to build the collection that will be worth the most when the adventure ends.

• Players: 3–5
• Playing time: approximately 40 minutes
• Format: card game
• Release year: 2006

At the end of the game, the player who can call the most valuable treasures their own wins. This creates a lighthearted treasure-hunting contest in which coveted discoveries and cursed finds both play an important role.

Designed by Rüdiger Dorn, Relikt is an extended version of Ex und Hopp. Its compact card-game format and imaginative treasure-hunt theme make it a focused contest for groups looking for a short adventure centered on valuable treasures and troublesome curses.
