Description

In the near future, civilization has dissolved. You must try to collect cultural treasures from the ruins of what was, specifically CDs. You'll need to manage three kinds of luck — chit-pull, random tile placement, and dice — to become the greatest treasure hunter.

The game of QANAT has a map of connected spaces, some of which are dig sites that may have CDs. Each turn you move by pulling chits from a bag, choosing when to stop. Most of the chits are normal moves, but some are events that can be good or bad. If you arrive at a dig site, you can try to dig up a CD by rolling over the dig number for the region. Some dig sites will end up being duds with no CDs at all, and if you find a CD the value of them varies.

In order to get an advantage over the other treasure hunters, you need to decide when to use special powers to mitigate the effects of luck. Can you get the most valuable CDs?
