The idea is simple and addictive: each player has a small bag filled with gold nuggets and gravel stones. The goal is to be the first to collect five gold nuggets from your bag. Sounds easy, right? But the catch is that you can keep drawing stones to try your luck and get more gold; however, if you draw too much gravel, you might end up losing everything you've already collected! It's that delightful tension of deciding whether it's worth risking a little more or if it's better to stop there. Gold Fever is a family-friendly party game, perfect for all ages, with lightning-fast matches lasting between 10 and 15 minutes. It comes with five cloth bags and 95 oversized gem pieces, which makes for a great tactile experience. The rules are super easy to pick up, and there are even four variants to spice up the games and ensure the fun never ends. It's the perfect dose of excitement and quick decision-making for any occasion! ## FAQ ### How many players can participate in Gold Fever?
