A team of linguists races to decipher a lost civilization’s written language by matching an unknown inscription to its intended meaning.

Gameplay

One player writes an inscription in a fictional script, then the group proposes words while the author translates each guess into symbols until a guess matches the original inscription. The pressure is reading patterns quickly and choosing guesses that teach you the most before your score climbs.
