Thesauros

Thesauros: Dive into deep strategy

In Thesauros, you take on the role of a salvage company leader in search of sunken treasures. To outshine your rivals, you’ll need to explore the seas and recover precious artifacts to earn both profit and prestige. Technologies, equipment, skilled workers, museum sponsorships, and even advertising campaigns: every decision is a decisive step toward glory—but beware of mismanaging your budgets.

How to play Thesauros?

Each turn revolves around worker placement and the management of multiple budgets. You can recruit or train workers, invest in technologies, charter boats, and organize expeditions to dive into the depths. Each dive brings you closer to treasures, but sharks and other hazards may threaten your plans. You can also fund museum exhibition halls, launch advertising campaigns for your company, or stash money in your slush fund to win the favor of local authorities. The Lawless! variant adds direct confrontation, allowing mercenaries to sabotage your competitors.
