In Unboxed, you and your friends take on the role of archeology interns under the direction of Dr. Ramos. At the dig site, the team has uncovered ten caches of ancient board games and they need your help to figure out how they were played. The centuries have not been kind to the rulebooks, so you’ll have to infer the rules based on each game’s symbology, components, and your own experience and intuition. Hopefully you’ve been attending board game night regularly...
EXAMINE
Each of the ten dig-sites will grant you a specific set of components and a few questions to help guide your “research”.
EVALUATE

PLAY
Once you’ve successfully recreated the rules, you’ll have a fully functional game!
