| + | The Explore is the players chosen avatar, the leader of the party and central member of any given expedition. They are chosen at the beginning of the game and cannot be changed or removed as long as they remain alive. At first, only the Big Game Hunter and Anthropologist are unlocked and available to players, but as requirements are met over the course of play, further explorers are added to the list of options. Each of these explorers has a unique ability that will direct and in some cases restrict how adventures are played out. |
