Mein Schatz

Dwarves, treasures and an orc

As dwarves players have found treasures in the cave, but an Ork lives there, too, and now you have to make up your mind on what to take and when to leave, before you encounter the Ork.

Six Orc cards are shuffled into the treasure cards. The treasure cards depict one to three treasures and mice, six betting disc show one treasure each and a dwarf on the backside. In your turn you draw a treasure card and put it on one of four possible stacks; Orcs are set aside staggered. If you want to secure treasures, you choose one betting disc, put it on a treasure stack of your choice and then take both the betting disc and the treasure stack. The last dwarf without treasures can draw any number of cards. When the sixth Orc appears, all dwarves still in the cave must flee, but can still take something with them: They randomly choose one of the betting discs that was turned over now to show the dwarf and take a stack. When all players have a disc and a stack, you score your stack: You count all treasures on your cards that are the same as the one depicted on your betting disc and also all mice. If you have the highest total, you get a cold coin. If you have exactly one treasure less, you get to silver coins and for 2 treasures less one silver coin. If at the end of round someone has eight or more silver coins, he wins. One gold coin is worth three silver coins.

This is nice! The topic and the mechanisms might be standard, but nicely used and to encounter the sixth Orc is also not really a catastrophe. The scoring mechanism for second and third place is especially attractive. All in all a nice family game for a filler or your holidays.
