Gold Mine

This simple push-your-luck game is basically an adaptation of Diamant/Incan Gold for play with the Green Box of Games game system. Play: Each turn, a new card is turned up on the table. The number on the card denotes how many gold nuggets are to be found. Now each player must decide whether to continue or flee, before the next card is turned up. Players that run away get to collect and divide all the treasure left on the cards. They are then out of the game for the rest of the round. Play continues until all players have left, or until three cards with identical symbols have been placed on the table. Then the cavern collapses, and any players remaining inside will lose all the treasure they collected this round. Winner: After 4 rounds, count the total gemstones each player has collected. The winner is the player with the most gold. —description from the designer
