Read the full game description

Let's Dig for Treasure is a fast push-your-luck card game illustrated with Steven Rhodes's gleefully macabre retro art. On each turn, a player digs deeper into the deck, collecting valuable finds while risking curses, hazards, and other ways to lose the haul. Stopping early banks dependable points; continuing might reveal a spectacular treasure or erase everything gained that turn. Its simple decision loop and sharp take-that moments make the game easy to teach and quick to replay.
