Venture into the deepest and most treacherous mines in Quartz: The Card Game! You and your friends will take on the roles of "awawas" (hyraxes)—chubby, adorable, yet fiercely competitive little animals. But don't let their cute, sun-bathing looks fool you; these critters are the closest living relatives to elephants, and they won't hesitate to use their sharp fangs and cunning intellect to sabotage their rivals!
In this fast-paced, push-your-luck card game, you must dig for the most precious treasures while dodging hazards and your opponents' sneaky attacks. Will you risk delving deeper into the mine to expand your loot, or play it safe and secure your stash before someone steals it? Outsmart your friends, hoard the biggest treasure, and be the one to shout the victory cry: AWAWAH!
- ⛏️ Push-Your-Luck Exploration: Every turn is a gamble. Decide whether to dig deeper and draw more cards to maximize your loot, or stop and safely secure what you've found before disaster strikes.
- 🐾 Vicious Sabotage: Use your intellect (and fangs!) to play aggressive Helper Cards. Steal gems from your rivals, force them to end their turn, or hand them unwanted "gifts" to ruin their mining operation.
- 🛡️ Clever Counter-Attacks: Protect your hard-earned stash! Play specific Defense cards like "Over My Dead Body!" or "No, Thanks!" to perfectly counter your opponents' attacks and turn the tables on them.
- ⏱️ Fast, Furious & Portable: With quick turns and a 25-minute playtime, it's a highly interactive, take-that card game filled with laughs, betrayals, and thrilling risks.
- Enter the Mine. On your turn, begin your excavation by drawing and placing cards in your exploration line, hoping to strike it rich with valuable treasures.
- Push Your Luck or Stop. The golden rule of the awawa: know when to quit! Decide to keep exploring for greater rewards, or end your turn to safely secure your gathered cards.
- Sabotage & Defend. Unleash chaos! Play Action cards to ruin other players exploration, or play crucial Defense cards to block their attempts to ruin your loot.
- Secure the Stash. Successfully stash your treasures without exploding your mine or getting robbed. At the end of the game, the player with the most valuable collection wins!
