Brotherwise Games has brought one of its cult favourites back from the dead. Unearth, the bend-your-luck dice-placement game designed by Jason Harner and Matthew Ransom, is on Kickstarter right now in a 10th Anniversary Edition that packs every expansion, all the promos, and a brand-new set called Buried Lords into a single box.

Find events near youThe 2017 original has been out of print since 2023, so second-hand prices on eBay and BGG Marketplace crept up steadily while fans waited for a reprint. Unearth sits around 6.9 on BoardGameGeek with just under 5,000 ratings, a solid gateway weight for 2 to 4 players that runs 30 to 60 minutes. The core hook: even when your dice roll badly, you still collect stones toward building Wonders. New players pick it up in a single game, which is why groups keep coming back to it.
The anniversary box bundles The Lost Tribes expansion, the never-before-released Buried Lords expansion, every promo Brotherwise has ever put out, 85 cards, 91 tokens, 20 dice, four player aids, a cloth storage bag, and a plastic tray sized for sleeved cards. Brotherwise, also the studio behind the dungeon-building card game Boss Monster, is pitching this as the definitive Unearth with fresh graphic design and tuned rules.

Set up your group for freeThe campaign launched on 21 April and has already cleared its 30,000 USD goal almost twice over, with average pledges sitting around 58 USD and more than 1,000 backers on board. It runs until 7 May, which gives UK gamers plenty of time to work out international shipping before pledging. Delivery is projected for later in 2026.
If your group loves gateway dice games like King of Tokyo or Machi Koro, Unearth slots right in without scaring off newcomers. Worth a pledge for anyone who missed the original, or a re-buy for fans who wore out their first copy.
