    Hey guys, I'm gonna host a round of Diamant.

    It's a fun German game of calculating risk, predicting other moves, bluffing and luck.

    Rules Summary

    • Players are adventurers heading into a cave. They must explore the cave and find diamonds. The cave is also filled with traps. The goal of the game is to get as many diamonds as possible and leave the cave safely.
    • The game host has a pile of cards, called deck. The deck is composed of diamond cards and trap cards. Diamond cards have a number on them which represent the number of diamonds found, trap cards have one of five (5) types of trap written on them, which represents the trap encountered.
    • There are five (5) "exploration days". This basically means we replay the game five times and the player with the most diamonds after those 5 days win.
    • The game starts with every player going into the first room of the cave. At every room, the host draws a card from the deck.
    • If the card is a diamond, we distribute the diamonds evenly to all players present. The remainder is added to the "Free Pot".
    • If it's a trap, nothing happens. However, if a trap of the same type was already drawn in a previous room during this day, all players still in the cave lose all their diamonds for this day.
    • The players still in the cave must then secretely PM the host with their action. You can either "stay" in the cave and go to the next room, or "leave" the cave.
    • If you leave the cave, all diamonds you gained this day are secured. You will also share all diamonds in the Free Pot with other players leaving at the same time. If there's a remainder when splitting, it remains in the Free Pot (for people leaving in the future to grab).
    • An exploration day ends either when all players have left the cave, or a type of trap has been drawn twice. We then reshuffle the deck and start the next day. If the day ended with a trap, we remove one card for that type from the deck permanently.
