Tracer  

Tracers dig for valuable crystals hidden in the card mountains. Each player has a home mountain of one tracer and 3 more cards, the rest of cards is divided into four stacks, the mountains. In your turn you can mine a card = draw one card from one of the mountains, or play a card, either a tracer face up on the table or an action card, or mine for crystals. To mine for crystals one has to have between one and four tracers on the table and turns up as many cards as there are tracers. A crystal found is exchanged for a tracer and the move ends. A player who mines the fourth crystal has won the game.
