What this card does

The game becomes a Stadium with this card in play.

Each player can search their deck for up to two Item cards containing the word Antique.

These cards are placed directly onto the Bench.

What it does

Fossil Quarry

Once during each player's turn, that player may search their deck for up to 2 Item cards that have "Antique" in their name and put them onto their Bench. Then, that player shuffles their deck.

This card creates a shared benefit where both you and your child can look for specific Antique items. It speeds up the game by letting players find key resources without drawing random cards.
