About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a meme-worthy digging adventure with 'Let's Dig for Treasure'! This game is pure family fun with a 'push your luck' twist that will keep everyone on the edge of their seats. The setup is simple: shuffle the deck, divide it into three stacks, and start digging for treasure (or not!). On each turn, you choose a stack and draw a card. It could be something valuable, a crazy effect that gives you an advantage, or even a card that lets you steal from an opponent – like that friend who always grabs the best slice of pizza. The catch is, you can stop at any time, but the more you dig, the more you can potentially gain. The danger? If you draw the second Worm card or a single Skeleton card, your turn ends immediately, and everything you've gathered goes down the drain! When a stack is emptied, the game ends, and it's time to count points. Maybe you'll find a Loyal Dog to protect you, or that Crown of the Lich Lord that lets you transcend death (or just gives you extra points). But watch out for Sewer Lines, which are worth negative points and are great for passing to your least favorite friend. It's fast, easy to learn, and has a dark humor reminiscent of Steven Rhodes' cartoons. Perfect for those who enjoy taking risks and having a good laugh!
