Get the treasure, and get out! If only it were that easy... In Tomb Trader, you and your friends have joined an archaeological excavation — not for the sake of antiquity or history, but simply in the hopes of lining your pockets with the best treasures and smuggling them back to civilization. Each day, sneak back into the tomb to loot high-value items, but watch out because your ne'er-do-well friends all have the same idea! You have to be a swift and skilled negotiator in order to divvy up the loot before being caught, while making sure you get the best cuts for yourself! The game consists of 6 or 7 rounds in which players select a section of the tomb to explore and have one minute to divide the treasure between everyone else in the same section. Not coming to an agreement means nobody gets anything!
