Colorful Treasure is a board game released in 2019 for 2–4 players, 15–20 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Poki Chen and its main mechanics are Take That, Set Collection, and Push Your Luck.
Travel around the world and look for glorious gems buried among the mysterious Wonders of the World! The colors of the Wonders hint at the types of gems that might be hidden inside. With careful deduction, a bit of memory, and a pinch of luck, you will collect the most valuable gems and become the legendary treasure hunter! Colorful Treasure is a memory game with a fun twist of deduction element in the tri-color card back. There are 10 different Wonders and each type of Wonder comes with 5 cards: 1 Diamond, 1 Treasure Chest or Key, and 3 gems of 3 different colors, whose colors are indicated on the card back. All cards are shuffled and placed facedown on the table. Players take turns to reveal 2 or 3 cards and collect one type of card(s). During the process, players get to deduce the potential card from the card back. Besides the competition on the set collection of 5 colors of gems, player can also steal valuable cards or diamond tokens from their opponents if they manage to get a set of Treasure Chest and Key!
Colorful Treasure supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Colorful Treasure is 15–20 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Colorful Treasure for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
