Diamant

Diamant is a thrilling push-your-luck game designed by Bruno Faidutti and Alan R. Moon, where players take on the roles of daring explorers seeking to collect as many diamonds as possible. Each turn challenges players to decide whether to continue their adventure deeper into the treacherous cave or retreat before falling victim to its dangers.

This fast-paced and highly entertaining game is easy to learn and quick to play, making it perfect for players of all experience levels. As an adventurer, you'll enter a mysterious cave filled with treasures and hazards. The gameplay revolves around making a simple yet tense decision: advance or retreat? Each player uses one of two cards to declare their choice, placing it face down at the center of the table.

Once all players have made their decisions, they simultaneously reveal their cards. Those who choose to press forward reveal the next cave card, which may contain valuable diamonds or perilous traps. Any discovered diamonds are divided equally among the remaining explorers, with leftover gems left behind on the card. Beware, though: if a second trap of the same type appears in the round, all players who stayed in the cave lose all their diamonds from that round! Those who retreat safely can pocket the diamonds they found and any left behind along the path.

With simple mechanics and loads of fun, Diamant is an exciting choice for groups of 3 to 8 players, perfect for family gatherings or game nights with friends.

The game’s captivating illustrations come from talented artists like Jorg Asselborn, Matthias Catrein, Prapach Lapamnuaysap, Paul Mafayon, Claus Stephan, and Christof Tisch. Diamant has also received multiple awards and nominations, including the Golden Geek Best Light/Party Game 2006, a recommendation from Spiel des Jahres 2005, and recognition in competitions like the Japan Boardgame Prize and the Kinderspielexperten Award.

If you love quick, entertaining games filled with adventure—or if your poker face is truly unmatched—Diamant invites you to embark on a treasure-filled journey. Ready to explore? Enter the cave!
