Klondike (1993)

About this game

Each player on their turn draws three wooden marbles from a bag. Black & grey marbles are gravel, yellow marbles are gold nuggets. The player places the marbles on the riddle - a circular aluminum plate - and tries to "pan" the gold. Other players bet on their results, adding a bluffing element to the game. (There are, as well, basic & advanced rules.) Ages 6 and up

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.4/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 6 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
