Silver & Gold

Three in a horizontal row fit!

Fill areas, mark symbols and collect treasures. Treasure cards in four colors show areas of varying shapes comprising empty cases and symbol cases - cross, coin or palm tree - as well as icons for victory points and bonus seals.

You select two out of four cards, four more are displayed. In a turn, an expedition card gives the shape that you must cross out on one of your cards - you can rotate or mirror it. If the form does not fit into any of the cards, you cross out any single case.

If you cover a symbol when entering a shape, you mark any other case for a covered cross, cross out a coin on your scoring card for a covered coin and score one point for a covered palm tree plus one point for each palm tree visible in the row on display.

If you have completed a row of coins or a treasure card, you interrupt play and all in turn resolve complete rows of coins and completed cards: For a complete row of coins you cross out the cup of highest value on the round cards and enter its vale next to your row of coins. A completed treasure card is set aside and replaced with a new one from the open display or the face-down stack.

After seven expedition cards the round ends and all eight expedition cards are shuffled for the next round. After four rounds you win with most points from coin cases, cups, values of palm tree cases and completed treasure cards as well as seal bonuses for card colors.

A very good example for the currently hot roll / flip & write mechanism, not too chance-driven despite an element of chance and offering enough tough decision for a challenging and thrilling game for all kinds of players.
