GAME OVERVIEW
During the game, the players take gem and gold tokens.  With these tokens, they purchase cards which can be worth points and help towards purchasing more cards.  If a player has a bunch of certain cards, a noble will visit them giving them even more points.  As soon as a player reaches 15 points, the current turn ends and they player with the most points is the winner.

WHAT I LIKE
  • It is easy to teach.
  • The artwork.
  • The tactile feel of the gem chips, (you can't help playing with them between turns)
  • It is fun with about the right amount of thinking involved to make it interesting.
  • It doesn't take too long for people who are new to playing board games, about 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Gems!!
  • There is nothing I have to niggle about it.  I like it, full stop.

THINGS YOU ARE LIKELY TO HEAR WHILE PLAYING IT
"That's the card I want!"
"Click clickety click" (Players playing with their gem chips).
Various comments about favorite gem stones.
"There is no more of the gems I need!  Who's got them all!?"
"Hurry up and spend those gems, I need them!"
"Don't think you're too good for us now, just 'cos your the only one with a visiting noble."
"15 points already!!  How?"
Beware the silent players, they are probably doing really well.
