Essentially the gameplay goes as so;
You can take one of three actions on your turn.
Collect resources, either two of the same colour gem if there are 5 or more on the stack, or three of different coloured gems.
Buy cards which give you points, a permanent recourse or even BOTH!
Or reserve a card for later, this can be a face up card or one random from a deck. This can be purchased by you later for it’s usual cost, AND for reserving a card you get a gold chip, which can be spent as if it’s any colour gem.
Lastly- there are some nobles at the top of the play area, if you have the gems on cards they would like, they come to “see” your collection and you gain 3 extra points at the end of your turn.
First to 15 points wins 😊
Great simple fun, I’d reccomend playing with people of a similar ability to begin with, and all of the components can easily fit in a small deck box which can make it a great travel game.
