GOLD DIGGER® sets anxious prospectors on a quest to find their fortunes in gold. Picking the right claims will yield a cornucopia of riches… but beware of fool’s gold! The player that outwits all the others, wins!

Gold Digger is from the Easy Play category—Perfect for small groups of casual game players. Designed for players who don’t take games too seriously, these games feature a blend of light strategy, chance, and theme.

Gold Digger is a race to prospect mines with the greatest amount of gold. To counter those who make the first claims, other players can foil their riches by padding the mine with fool's gold.

Each player has a limited number of character cards to lay claim on a mine. If multiple claims are laid on the same mine, the rewards are divided evenly at the end. Since there is a split in revenues, claiming smaller mines is advantageous since a multiple claim would have little worth to the prospector.

Overall, this is a fast paced, enjoyable game well suited for parties.
