How to play
- Press Play to meet your first fossil and read its price and expected weight.
- Run lab tests: magnifier, weight scale, UV light and scratch test each reveal one clue.
- Compare clues with the forgery tells: resin runs light and glows evenly, paint flakes white, composites hide a seam.
- Choose Buy for a real fossil or Pass on a fake, then watch coins, rent and reputation update.
- Survive all 7 days as daily rent climbs, and unlock the CT Scan after 5 correct calls.
Tips
- Two matching tells beat one strong clue: fakes repeat the same family tell every time.
- Passing a fake earns a 25-coin expert fee, so a confident pass is a win, not a wasted turn.
- Save the CT Scan for close calls once it unlocks at 5 correct calls.
