Theme: PuzzleA City in the mountains was discovered but no one dares to venture without having mapped the place… Here is finally a mission for you, Archaeologist with implacable logic.

ArcheOlogic is a competitive deduction game whose goal is to first find the exact location of the buildings of the City.
To help you? An Archeoscope, the only research instrument capable of reading the coded cards left by the Ancients.
Ask the Archeoscope your questions by adjusting its cogs, note the precious answers, and replace the buildings on your plan.
Think carefully, some questions will take more time than others, but maybe their answer will make you win the game.

In ArcheOlogic, you do not play in a specific order. It is your turn to play when your pawn is in the last position on the Time track of the central board.

Determine the question you want to ask the Archeoscope and move your pawn forward on the Time track as many positions as the total cost of the question.

Ask the Archeoscope the right questions 

You can ask a question about:

\n
• Buildings (how many cells of the square are there on axis 3?)
\n
• Traps (what are the traps present on axis A?)
\n
• Empty Zones (how much empty zones are there on the C axis?).
\n

Set the Archeoscope by turning its cogs to the chosen question, take the coded card, place it below and read the answer given.

As the game progresses, and depending on the answers collected, replace the Buildings on your Map.

If, at the beginning of your turn, you think you have found the exact layout of the Buildings on the Map, move your Time token forward 4 positions.

Check your answer on the online application OR on the rulebook. If correct, you have won! If you failed and are playing with the app, continue as normal. If you play with the rulebook, you are immediately eliminated.
