Gemble is a push-your-luck card and dice game for 2 to 4 players. Players take turns rolling the dice and gambling to collect suits of gem cards matching private goals indicated on gem tokens. However, they will need cards from as many suits as possible in order to make bets. The rules are simple: roll the gem die and carry out the following actions: 1.Collect one card if there are cards in the pot (market) matching the color of the die roll. 2.Make a bet by rolling the dot die if there are no cards in the pot matching the color of the die roll, or, if you want to collect more than one card from the pot. If you make a succesful bet you may collect one card for a single match or all cards of one color for a double match. If you fail, you must move your bet cards to the pot. At the end of the game, the cards matching your private goals will add points to your score while the other cards will subtract points. -description from designer
