DIG UP Adventure
At the start of the game, each player receives 9 unknown cards and set up their Mine by placing them face down in front of them, in a 3x3 square. They flip the center card face up and the game can begin. The goal is to fill the 9 slots of your mine with cards granting you the most points. On your turn, you can play up to 2 cards from your hand. Play Gem cards in your mine – cards of your favorite color earns you points, as well as cards played on the right spot (each gem and Mine slot is numbered from 1 to 9). Use Adventure cards to your advantage to reveal, swap or steal cards in play and build the best Mine. But beware: as soon as a Mine is entirely revealed, the game comes to an end and the player with the most points wins!

Game Play
A player may play up to two cards from their hand.
a) Play an adventure card and apply its effect.
b) Swap facedown cards with gems. The revealed gem will go into your hand and can be used for swapping subsequently.
c) You can't play an idol card from your hand if there is already one in your mine. However, it is possible to end up with more than one idol in your mine through other card effects.
You will need to discard down to 3 cards at the end of your turn. Discarding additional cards is optional as your hand will automatically be filled back up to 3.
The positions in your tableau are numbered 1 through nine (i.e. the top row are positions 1,2,3, middle row positions 4, 5, 6, and bottom row 7,8,9). You get points if you place the card with a number of gems in the place that matches that number (so for instance you want a card with 1 gem on the top left of your tableau, and a card with 9 gems at the bottom right).
