"Lagerstätten" is the German word for veins of rock rich in fossils, and this term in Japanese is "化石鉱脈" (化石 Kaseki = fossil, 鉱脈 Koumyaku = vein).
Lagerstätten, a.k.a. 化石鉱脈, is a worker placement game, themed on excavating fossils, collecting sets of fossil types, and managing your resources (money, fame). During the game, you send workers to action spaces so that they can:
Dig to gain rock samples
Prepare the samples to uncover the fossils
Present a paper at an academic conference to gain fame
Exhibit your fossil collection to gain income
Sell your set to a collector (based on demand from request cards) to gain income
Will you be successful in your career as a paleontologist?
