📖 About This Game
Diam's is a game of combinations inspirated by traditional games : escoba and scopa. The objective is to recover diamonds on the market in order to form collections in its strongbox.
In turn, a player chooses between 2 ways of pick. Then he has to buy diamonds at the market (2 ways of buying) OR to secure diamonds in his strongbox (at least 3 same valors diamonds) OR to put one diamond card onto the market. At the end of his turn, he only keeps 5 cards in hand, the others are put onto the market. Each combination of diamonds in the strongbox scores point. For example : 3 diamonds "7" scores 10 points, 5 diamonds "7" scores 18 points. The player who scores most, win the set, a game is in 3 sets.
