Disclaimer: I'm the designer of this game.

So it should be a 10 for me according to BGG's definition ("would never turn down a game"), right?

I'm subtracting two points a) because I have better games I'm working on, so there has to be some room for improvement b) because the graphics, while probably the best I could come up with myself, could be better

About the game:

You are using a novel mechanism of buying resources by placing custom poker chips on a game board and taking the ones that the arrows on the chips point to. With these resources you buy cards that give you victory points and maybe more powerful chips. You win if you have the most victory points at the end. All embedded in a "Jewelry Making" theme so it doesn't become too dry ...

It sounds simple, and admittedly the rules ARE simple, but everybody I played it with said it's fun.

Includes a solo mode and is available for download in the Files section in English and German.
