Board Game Circus, the marketing team behind the KS hit Arena: The Contest and their French partner, Mangrove Games, the publisher of DIG and Planetopia, are collaborating once again! DIG Second Edition and its expansion DIG: Dragon! are now live on Kickstarter, until May 22nd.

DIG is an action-packed push-your-luck game in which players compete to find the most loot in their galleries and hire the most promising companions to be the first one to find 5 precious gems. A lot of risk is involved, clever mitigation and a good portion of luck. The expansion adds another layer of push-your luck to the game, as well as new specialists, helping you to achieve your goal faster… but at a cost. DIG: Dragon! is fully compatible with the first edition of DIG.
