The kingdom is under attack by ferocious monsters. Unfortunately, the the armory is empty. The King will reward a Merchant Miner that can arm the great heroes of the kingdom. You will need to Mine and Build items so that heroes can slay monsters to keep the kingdom safe once again.

Amethyst takes place over a series of turns. Each a turn a player will have 5 actions to choose from. They may mine for gems, build an item using those gems, slay a monster using those items, trade gems, or recruit citizens to help you with any of that. Once all the monsters have been slain, the game ends and all points are added up. Highest score wins.
