Description

Detectorama takes place at Village Green, a small town in South England where there is a curious interest in metal detecting. The Royal Society of Detectorists is organizing an exhibition to introduce this interesting hobby, so the Board has asked its members for a big collection of finds to fill their showcases. This demand has energized the entire detectorist community and turned afternoon detecting sessions into real battles for the best finds.

Inspired by BBC's "Detectorists" series, Detectorama is a competitive themed board game in which you will play the role of a member of the Royal Society of Detectorists seeking recognition from his fellow detectorists. Buy equipment, get it ready for your field trips, get detecting permits, discover new locations to detect and find the most valuable finds for the exhibition or even gold... who knows.

The main action of the game is metal detecting and everything revolves around it. This action is represented by a large dice roll conditioned mainly by the equipment used for detection. But dice can be manipulated and optimized to reduce randomness; so before going out to the fields you better get ready.
