Time is running out! It is up to Indiana Jones and his friends to rescue the Ark of the Covenant before it falls into the wrong hands. Players explore the ancient city of Tanis in search of the legendary relic while building their strength and resources.

But danger is always close—when the sand timer is flipped, the race for survival begins. Players must confront powerful enemies such as Colonel Dietrich, Major Toht, and Dr. René Belloq to prevent them from claiming the Ark.

In Indiana Jones: Sands of Adventure, a cooperative strategy and quick card-playing game, players work together to defeat different villains before time runs out. They move characters, play cards, upgrade tiles, and attack enemies in order to complete their mission and save the Ark of the Covenant.
