Thebes is a board game where players become archaeologists exploring Europe and the Middle East to uncover ancient artifacts. The game revolves around time management, as each action, such as traveling, researching, or digging, costs weeks. Players collect knowledge on different civilizations, which helps them during excavations. The goal is to gather the most valuable artifacts by the end of the game.
