The Geology Game

The Geology Game is a turn-based game intended to introduce players to the concepts of Geology and how the field works. Players select a Museum to play as as well as a difficulty level, and then take a set of turns sending out researchers to different geological sites across the globe to try and discover new minerals. Once researchers have arrived, the player can visit the geological sites themselves and crack open the rocks to find, identify, and bag minerals and gemstones. Bagged minerals can be taken to the player's museum to be displayed and increase their income. Income can be spent on improvements to the museum that increase stats such as Visitors and Prestige. The entire game is played using mostly static menus composed of 2D images.

Travelling to different locations costs "turns", but each turn that passes awards new tools that can be used for actions such as breaking open rocks.
