About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a quick adventure in Treasures & Traps, a card game where the goal is to be the first to assemble a Gold, Silver, and Bronze treasure in your "realm" (your play area). Each card you draw can be an opportunity: a valuable treasure to bring you closer to victory, a magical assist that gives you an edge, or a tricky trap to hinder your opponents. And don't be fooled, the cards that aren't treasures are your tools to stop other players from achieving their goals. With 100 unique cards, the game offers plenty of variety for short and dynamic sessions. It's a great choice for those who enjoy card games with a touch of fantasy and a hint of "pick up and play," without complications. The main mechanic is set collection, but the direct player interaction, using trap and power cards, is what really heats up the competition. This game was an Origins Awards finalist in 2006 for Non-Collectible Card Game of the Year, which says a lot about the quality and originality of its concept. Perfect for filling a little free time or for warming up before heavier games.
