Enter the Victorian Era as a plant hunter chasing fame, fortune, and the Queen's Prize in Botany. Specimen cards send each expedition around the globe in search of live and pressed flowers.

On each turn, move toward a specimen's location, manage expedition funds, face events, and acquire items, crew, and pets. Return to your estate to place finds in the garden and build orangeries and conservatories. The highest score claims the prize.

Dux Somnium pairs the sweeping journey with 105 specimen cards, estate boards, and wooden pawns. Solo players and groups of up to five can settle in for 45 to 90 minutes.
