{"product_id":"diamonds","title":"Diamonds","description":"\u003cp\u003eDiamonds is a trick-taking card game in which players collect Diamonds — not cards bearing that suit, mind you, but rather actual \"Diamond Crystals\" (acrylic crystals) included in the game.\n\nWhat makes the game of Diamonds different from other trick-taking card games is that when you cannot follow suit you get a \"Suit Action\" based on what suit you do play. Suit Actions are also taken by the winner of each trick, as well as at the end of a full Round of play.\n\nSuit Actions will enable players to take Diamond Crystals from the Supply, moving them to their Showroom (where they may score 1 point) or to their Vault (where they will score 2 points). The Vault is a secure area, but the Showroom is vulnerable to theft by the other players.\n\nThe deck in Diamonds consists of sixty cards, numbered 1-15 in the standard suits. In each round, the players start with a hand of ten cards. One player leads a card, and everyone else must play one card, following suit if possible.  As you play a card, if you cannot follow suit, you immediately get a Suit Action in the suit you did play. The player who played the highest card in the suit that was led wins the trick, and also gets a Suit Action.\n The player who won the trick leads a card to start the next trick. After a full Round of ten tricks, whoever has taken the most cards in each suit once again gets a Suit Action. If a player has taken no tricks, that player gets two Diamonds Suit Actions. Players then start a new round.\n\nWhoever has the most points in Diamond Crystals at the end of the game wins!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2–6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlay time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 min\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplexity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.56 \/ 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mike Fitzgerald\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2014\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Stronghold Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51909471764696,"sku":"SB-78B051245D75-BOARD-GAMES-UNK-SEALED","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/6271\/0488\/files\/xav0dha9r1lh2jaot2xojkhabrr0.jpg?v=1785460195","url":"https:\/\/abbyboardwalkstore.com\/products\/diamonds","provider":"Boardwalk Cafe \u0026 Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
