About this game
Quartz sends a crew of dwarven miners into a shared bag of gems, and every pull is a small gamble against your own greed. On your turn you draw a crystal, play a card to help yourself or sabotage a rival, or call it a day and cash in whatever you have collected. Pull two unstable black crystals, though, and you lose the lot for that round, walking away with nothing but a consolation token. Five days of mining later, whoever balanced boldness against caution best comes out with the richest haul. Sharp, mean in small doses, and quick enough that a bad day never lingers.
