Description

Players must find, transport, and deliver 6 minerals to Sir Landslide's Cascades Museum. This two player game requires concentration, strategy, and a little luck. Twelve authentic minerals are included in this game and a corresponding disk for each mineral. There are four more disks which correspond to 4 different compass point directions (NE, NW, SE, SW). All sixteen disks are scrambled and placed face down on the board. Players reveal the secret locations of the minerals and transport the minerals from the canyons to the museum. When a compass point disk is revealed, a block is placed on one of the players making it more difficult to transport their minerals.

Dinosaur Coprolite (petrified dinosaur dung) is one of the minerals included in the game. There is an added twist for this unique mineral and it can be stolen from the other player.

The first player to successfully transport six minerals to Sir Landslide's Cascades Museum is the winner.
