Exploration

Exploration Games:
• The Mechanism: Gameplay focused entirely on venturing into the unknown, lifting fog-of-war tokens, and mapping uncharted territories.
• Gameplay: Players move their pieces off the edge of the known map, drawing new tiles or flipped tokens to reveal what lies beneath. You might discover ancient ruins, dangerous wildlife, or hidden resources. The core loop rewards curiosity, navigation, and adapting to unpredictable discoveries.
