The explorer character 'John Hunter' (brown wide-brim hat, brown jacket, red neckerchief, green backdrop card) mixes with astronomical instruments (armillary sphere/globe, telescope, hourglass) and scholarly items (map scroll, inkwell & quill feather) associated with Galileo Galilei. Base game is set inside a warm, sunlit wood-panelled observatory/study room with a large round domed skylight; feature screens shift to a night sky with stained-glass constellation windows and a full moon, or a purple/violet starry nebula for the Money Respin sub-feature.",
