Gems for bearded Bandits

A gang of bandits is stronger than one bandit! So, you command a gang of eight bandits to comb the thickets of Hotzenwald, searching for gems for you stash.

The eight bandits in your hand have values 0 to 7, and you begin with a stash of eight gems. 14 noblemen are shuffled and eight of them are randomly selected and stacked face-down for a game. For a round or trick, the top nobleman is revealed and all players simultaneously select and play a bandit from their hand. If you played the strongest one, you receive a reward from the nobleman - you get gems, either the number stated on the card, or you can select to take zero or eight gems, or you can give back gems, or you select your left- or righthand neighbor to receive five gems from general stock or to make him give back two gems into stock, or you can present two gems to any player of your choice.

In case of a tie, all players receive the reward; if you the tied for selecting a player, players must do so simultaneously by pointing a finger. BUT: Several bandits of strength 7 in a round cancel each other out. If there are only bandits of the same value in a round, nobody receives a reward. If you played the weakest bandit or are in a tie for weakest player, you get pity gems. If you have the secondmost gems after eight rounds, you win.

For a variant, you can look at the eight chosen nobles, shuffle and stack them face-down again, so that you know what rewards will be coming but not when.

A cute little card game with some tactics; you know the reward and can try to influence gem stashes. But do not forget, only second-best is best!
