## Description
Grab your pickaxe and your pencil, because Gem Getter Pro is here to get everyone mining! In this game for 1 to 99 players (yes, you read that right!), the goal is to be the most efficient miner and fill your stash with precious gems. It's 9 rounds of pure adrenaline where you'll roll dice to discover which digging patterns (those Tetris-like blocks, you know?) are available. Then, you choose your favorite pattern and "dig" it into your personal mine, which is basically a sheet of paper. The trick is to plan well to cover rows, columns, and avoid boulders, because that earns you bonus gems! And to give it a boost, you can use oil for extra digs or natural gas for more flexibility in choosing the next pattern. With 8 different mines to explore and 2 types of roll sheets, variety is guaranteed. The game is quick, about 15 to 30 minutes, and perfect for those who enjoy a fast and smart challenge, whether alone or with a huge crowd. It's a Print & Play game, so just print and play!
