Description

In Pearls, you'll embark on a thrilling underwater adventure, collecting and selling valuable pearls at local markets. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, 2 to 6 players can dive into the fun in just 15 minutes. On each turn, you'll choose to collect or score pearl cards of the same color and value, aiming to gather sets that will earn you the most points. The key to success lies in clever hand management and timing, as you navigate the challenge of a limited hand size of ten cards. While rare, high-value pearls are highly prized, collecting a large quantity of lower-value pearls can also pay off, potentially earning you a bonus necklace card. At the end of the game, your scoring piles will determine your total score, with unused cards in your hand deducting from your points. Will you emerge as the champion pearl diver with the highest score?
