Goal

Secure as many diamond collections as you can in your safe!

A collection is a set of three diamonds of the same color, or more (up to five). Each color has a matching digit ranging from 1 to 10.

On each round, you'll earn victory chips based on the points earned collecting diamonds. Collections are worth more or less depending upon the diamond color (be careful to check the collection values, the most valuable diamond is the '7', not the '10')

The player with the most victory chips at the end of three rounds wins!

Rules summary

On your turn, you must first choose between two possibilities (phase 1):

  • Draw one card and put it in your hand
  • Draw two cards and put them on the market.


Then you will have to choose between two actions (phase 2):

  • Select one of your cards and go to the market with it. Once on the market, you can:
    • Take all cards of the same color than the one you went to the market with (including it)
    • Take a selection of cards whose digits sum up to the digit of the card you went to the market with
    • Or come back empty ended...
  • Select cards in your hand and secure them into your safe. Your selection:
    • Must contain at least one collection (three diamonds of the same color)
    • Can contain diamonds matching a collection already present in your safe (in order to expand the collection)


At the end of your turn, if you have more than 5 cards in your hand, you will have to discard some to keep only 5.
