Description

Desert, ruins and adventure

Adventurers told stories of explorers who search deserts and ruins for treasure, and of what they find along the way. This set brings the theme to your table with a mummy storage container that doubles as a box for the pieces. The name mentions two things: a set of treasure raiders and a container with something mummy-related about it. The scene is therefore a classic adventure in the style of old films, full of secrets and dangers waiting in the sand.

Five figures for the expedition

With five minifigures the set has a surprising number of characters for its size. That is enough for an expedition and its opponents, so you can have teams compete or tell a rescue story. How you assign the roles is up to you. With only 198 pieces in total, the figures make up a large share of the contents, and they matter accordingly for play. For collectors, that figure count is a good reason to look at this set a little more closely.

Dark colours, many special shapes

Black, light grey, tan and dark grey define the set, so it looks gloomier rather than sunny. The 198 pieces are spread over 83 different shapes, which is a high value. Many special parts turn up, intended for ruins, chests or traps, and fewer uniform bricks. The build needs a little more attention as a result, but the finished model looks detailed. The parts list on this page helps you keep everything in view while you work through the instructions.

Reusing the parts

The grey and tan parts suit ruins, castles or rocky landscapes of your own. If you are building a desert diorama you can mix the parts with those from other Adventurers sets. On Bricoria the What can I build? tool uses your collection to show which sets you can put together. That way the contents stay useful after unpacking, and the container can do what it was made for and hold the parts once the expedition is over and the figures are back on the shelf.
