Dr. Indiana Jones' journey into a Peruvian jungle with a few local guides to find the Golden Idol of Fertility. Jones avoids various traps, the betrayal of both his guides, Barranca and Satipo, and, in one memorable and much-parodied scene, a giant rolling boulder that chases him out of the temple. Waiting for him outside is his nemesis, French archaeologist Rene Belloq, and a small army of Hovitos natives. Belloq steals the idol from Jones, who barely escapes in his nearby pontoon plane.
US - Map - USA(5 players/game, 3 games, All but last advances)
Back at the American university where he teaches, two US Army intelligence men summon Jones into the auditorium along with Marcus, head of the department and a good friend of Indy. The men explain that the US has intercepted a cryptic Nazi message that mentions a Prof. Abner Ravenwood being under the scrutiny of German intelligence. Indy, a former student of Ravenwood, helps interpret the message as an indication that the Nazis are close to finding the Ark of the Covenant
Nepal - Map - Mongol Empire(6 players/game, 2 games, All but last advance)
Indy flies to snowy, mountainous Nepal to speak with Marion Ravenwood, the professor's tough-minded and independent daughter, only to find that her father died and that she's reluctant to part with the headpiece of the Staff of Ra needed to pinpoint the Ark's resting place.
Cairo - Map - Middle East(5 players/game, 2 games, Top 3 advance from each game)
Jones and Ravenwood fly to Cairo and meet Indy's friend Sallah, a skilled Egyptian digger and archaeologist, to find help in decoding the markings in the headpiece that specify the height of the staff needed to hold the headpiece.
Island in the Aegaen Sea(Map - Alexander's Empire, 6 players/game, 1 game, All but last advances)
A Nazi U-boat with Belloq and Dietrich stops the ship and takes the Ark and Marion, but Indy covertly follows the sub (having already stowed on board). It docks at a submarine pen on an island in the Aegean Sea, where Indy steals a soldier's uniform.
Portuguese Coast, 1938(Map - Portugal, 5 Players/game, 1 game, All but last advances)
In 1938, Indiana Jones tracked down Panama Hat to Lisbon, Portugal[1] after receiving a tip from a man who worked for Panama claiming that his boss had had an affair with his wife and wanted revenge.[1] Jones snuck aboard the Vasquez de Coronado off the Portuguese coast and took the Cross of Coronado into his posession.
Austrian-German border - Map - Germany, 4 Players/game, 1game, The Winner Wins!!!!)
Indy discovers that his father is being held in Brunwald Castle near the Austrian-German border.
The Winner of the last game goes on to complete Indy's quest.
The quest reaches its climax at the Canyon of the Crescent Moon, in Hatay near Iskenderun, where the secret home to the Grail is located. Donovan captures Indy in the temple and shoots Indy's father, forcing him to face a set of challenges and retrieve the Grail for its healing powers to save his father's life. Indy, guided by his father's diary, surpasses the challenges, arriving in a room with Holy Grail hidden amongst many false grails and a knight of the last Crusade surviving by the Grail's power. Indy takes the Grail with the holy water and heals his father.
There will be no reserves for this game. If someone drops out after the first round they will be replaced by someone who was eliminated in the previous round. That person will be the person who was eliminated in the latest round. In the case of a tie, the person who took over the most territories in the course of that game will get the opportunity to replace the person who dropped. If there is still a tie we will continue in this fashion going back to the games from 2 rounds before. If in the unlikely event we get back to the first game and still have a tie, I will roll a random # between 1 and 10000 for each person in order of them joining the tournament. The person who rolls the highest will get the opportunity to replace the player who dropped
