My favourite game mechanisms: Thebes is still one of my favourite games for how it implements one my favourite mechanisms, the time track. In Thebes you are an archaeologist digging at ancient sites to collect treasures for points. After learning about the ancient sites at the universities you can decide to start "digging" for treasures, represented by tokens in a draw bag. Some of those tokens are treasure and some are just dirt tokens. Keep any treasure you find but return all the dirt tokens back to the bag. When you decide to dig at an ancient site, you first decide how much time (in weeks) you want spend searching for treasure. Using the formula on this disc, the more time you spend digging, the more "digs" into that site's draw bag pulling out tokens that you get. The more pulls you get from the bag, the greater your chances of finding treasure and not just dirt. The game is played over a two or three year period, depending on the number of players so you have to decide if you want to spend a long time digging at one or two sites or less time at several sites.
