{"product_id":"diamonds-second-edition","title":"Diamonds Second Edition","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.  What 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.  Suit 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.  The 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. 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.  Whoever has the most points in Diamond Crystals at the end of the game wins!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stronghold Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53182140219760,"sku":"SG00012","price":44.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/3085\/6304\/files\/1_1200x_29138358-eb40-4291-8e71-0adb9f6ed1b2.jpg?v=1768633104","url":"https:\/\/loothoarder.com.au\/products\/diamonds-second-edition","provider":"Loot Hoarder","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
