Hand of Gold

Hands of gold is a collection style card game where 2 to 6 players are digging through a 70 card deck looking for gold cards to reach the required gold to win.

On any player's turn, they can use any or all of the effect cards in their hand by placing them on the discard pile. All players (regardless of whether they played any effect cards or not) can draw 1 card or more if they played the "EXTRA" effect card at the end of their turn.

The deck contains the exact amount of gold so it is impossible for the deck to run out of cards without anyone winning.

There are also varying amounts of effect cards allowing players to steal cards, draw more, skip turns, force players to return gold back to the deck, re-order the top 3 cards, trade cards, look in other players hands, and a card that allows you to block any of these effects (including blocks themselves).

The game ends when a player reaches the required amount of gold which is different depending on the number of players playing: 2 Players: 30 Gold 3 Players: 20 Gold 4 Players: 15 Gold 5 Players: 12 Gold 6 Players: 10 Gold
