Description

Order of the Gilded Compass is a re-implementation of Alea Iacta Est and expands and improves upon that game system. It is a dice assignment game for 2-5 players.

In this game, each player takes on the role of a treasure hunter seeking invitation to join the most prestigious of archaeological secret societies. Players scour the globe to unearth fantastic and valuable artifacts. By assigning their archaeologist dice to the right locations at the right time, players acquire treasure maps and specialists to follow them, dive for sunken treasure, acquire rare finds at the auction house, and even enlist the help of the Illuminati. The player who has the most treasure at the end of the game earns an invitation to The Order of the Gilded Compass and wins.

Order of the Gilded Compass uses a variable set-up in order to create fresh and interesting game play experiences. Each game has five locations in play to which players may assign their dice for various kinds of treasures and bonuses, and the game includes nine different buildings to allow for many unique combinations.

Contents:

  • 42 marbled dice
  • 9 building tiles
  • 36 Specialist tokens
  • 24 Knowledge tokens
  • 26 Ancient Map tiles
  • 22 Mission tiles
  • 6 Private Collection tiles
  • 20 Ability tiles
  • 36 Private Artifact tiles
  • 36 Treasure Tower tiles
  • 30 Sunken Treasure tiles
  • 1 starting player marker
