As directors of a gem-trading house, everyone secretly picks the same kind of action each round, and only choices nobody else made actually pay off. Grab gems, play an event, or just take the cash on offer, but if a rival guessed the same, you both get blocked. It is a warm, laughing game of reading the table and dodging the crowd.
Who it's for
Groups who love bluffing, table reading and simultaneous-choice tension, especially at four or five where the guessing gets deliciously crowded.
Not for you if…
You want deep strategy or dislike games where a good plan can be blocked by a coincidental clash. It thrives on players, not on two or three.
Vibe's take
A laughing, tense guessing game of second-guessing the table and slipping into the action everyone else overlooked.
