## Description
Hey everyone! Who hasn't dreamed of striking it rich overnight, right? Well, that whole gold rush craze is what inspires Fool's Gold (Ouro de Tolo), a fast-paced and tense game where you and your friends become prospectors seeking that big score. The idea is simple: enter the mine, grab the most valuable stones, and get out before bad luck strikes. Each workday, you have three options: mine a new stone, play a card to benefit yourself or hinder others, or simply leave the mine and cash in what you've gathered. 

But watch out! If you collect two "fool's gold" stones, you're out of luck! You lose everything you collected that round and sit out until the rest of the players finish it. It's that classic tension of 'is it worth risking a little more?'. Every turn spent inside the mine can boost your earnings, but it can also leave you with nothing. At the end of the day, whoever sold the most stones and accumulated the most cash is the winner. The game ends when someone reaches a certain cash threshold, which varies based on the player count. Get your pickaxes and courage ready, because the mine awaits!
