After years of experimentation in your shared laboratory, you and your fellow alchemists have just successfully transmuted common metals into gold! Now all that's left is to perfect the formula, repeating the experiments to find the perfect combination of metals that produce the purest gold.
This is a trick-taking game for 3 or 4 players. In a 4 player game there will be two teams of 2. After all cards for the round have been dealt, you will bid on how many tricks you think you/your team will win. (In a 4-player game after both players on a team have made a bid, the higher of the two bids will be the team's bid.)
During the round you can lead with any non-Gold card. On your turn you must not play a suit that has already been played (unless it is a Gold card). The highest number played wins, but Gold is the trump suit and always wins. Whoever played the lowest non-Gold card adds a Gold card of the same number from the Supply to their Collection if it is available. All Gold cards played in a trick are returned to the supply.
The round ends immediately whenever any player either:
- Cannot play a valid base metal card and does not have a Gold card to play
- Cannot play a valid base metal card and chooses not to play a Gold card
If the number of tricks you win:
- Is Under the Bid: You earn no points.
- Is Over the Bid: You earn your bid value as points.
- Is Exactly Your Bid: You earn double the big value as points.
Additionally you earn points for the number of Gold cards remaining in your collection. The player/team with the highest points wins a Gold Nugget and the first to have 2 of them wins!
