Reiner Knizia's Gem Dealer: The Gem Collection Game
Game Summary: The object of this fabulously re-themed Reiner Knizia collecting game is to be the first dealer to gather one gem of each color. Players bid cards from their hands in a competition for any one color, and must decide whether to bid heavily now to secure the prize or save your cards for a final coup d'etat. Whoever bids the most in any one round collects a gem of that color, but can only draw one more card from the draw pile. This simple rule results in a game of terrific tension, as players wrestle with short-term and long-term needs every time the decision to bid or pass comes back to them. Great for families, get-togethers or even travel, Gem Dealer is destined become a much greater classic than the original game that inspired it .... For 3-5 players over 8 years old, this 30-45 minute game can be played as a light filler or repeatedly for a much deeper entr��e. Gamers who love to play with their game pieces while they consider their next diabolical move won't find a better game than Gem Dealer! Artwork by well-known Eagle Games artist Paul Niemeyer.
