About the game

"A shower of gold nuggets ... An hidden hourglass, unleashed gold diggers. Roll the dice as many times as you want to collect as many gems as possible in the allotted time. A cascade of bad faith! Be careful to your mates, who push you to stop digging too soon or to continue to play while the clock is ticking!" (Asmodée) Digger is a fast game of dice rolling with a twist : you only have 30 seconds to collect the more gems you can and pile them on your board. You can take them from the stock or try to steal them from the other gold diggers. But the hourglass is hidden by the player on your right and if you don't pile all your gems in the allotted time, you'll lose them all.
