How To Play Let’s Dig For Treasure

Let’s Dig For Treasure is an easy-to-play, push-your-luck game designed to let casual board game players experience board game mechanics in a fun, simple way. Plus, it’s a great way to show off Steven Rhodes’ art.

Let’s start with setting the game up.

Setup

Let’s Dig For Treasure comes with 120 cards and a rulebook. That’s it.

To set up, one player (or more likely two) shuffles all the cards together, then lays them out in three 40-card stacks that are face down. Having done that, you’re ready to play Let’s Dig For Treasure.

What To Do On Your Turn

On your turn, you will always draw a card from any of the three stacks. It’s your choice which one you draw from.

If the card you draw says, “When You Dig This Up,” do what the card says. Otherwise, the card does nothing for now.

Now, you have two choices to make. Do you end your turn and keep the card? Or do you draw another from one of the three stacks?

Drawing more cards can get you more points, but if you draw the wrong card, your turn is over and you don’t get to keep any of the cards you drew.

Players keep alternating turns until the game is over.

How To Win/End The Game

Let’s Dig For Treasure ends when one of the three stacks of cards runs out of cards. Afterward, all players count up the points on the cards they were able to keep. The player with the most wins. If there’s a tie, both players win!

And that is how you play Let’s Dig For Treasure.

Did you know Clue has been published in a lot of other countries? Because of this, there was a strong need to translate the game into other languages. For example, Cantonese, French, German, and Italian.

Pretty cool, huh? Clue is an interesting game because it sits between what we would call a language-dependent game and a language-independent game.
