10 exchange rate cards show rates for colors; five rates on a card for exchanging gems of the same colors, for instance 1 green + 1 white = 1 yellow + 1 green + 1 blue. For a game, you draw two of those cards. Goods cards show colored dots in various combinations, with or without a star icon. Those cards are stacked and must be acquired by players. In your turn, you can either roll a die and take the gem of that color from stock (* lets you choose a color) or exchange gems from your stock with gems from general stock according to one of the exchange rates on the two cards and afterwards, if applicable, buy a card from one of the stacks. You want to buy with as few left-over gems as possible, as you earn more points the fewer left-over gems there are. At the end of your turn, you must not have more than ten gems. Stars on the cards enhance their value.
