Description

In Gravediggers, 2 to 5 players compete to earn the most money by robbing graves, and it's a game of hidden information, bluffing, and deduction. Each player starts with a hand of cards and some hidden coins, and there are always five cemeteries on the table, each with a card to begin with. On their turn, a player reveals an action tile and performs the action, which could be playing a card, looking at a card, revealing a card, or deciding which cemetery to rob. The game gets exciting when players rob a cemetery, as they simultaneously bid on how much money they want to invest, and the player who bid the least gets to take their loot first. Special cards can change the outcome of the robbery, such as guards, bandits, and accomplices, adding an extra layer of strategy and unpredictability to the game. With easy-to-learn rules and a playtime of just 25 minutes, Gravediggers is a quick and thrilling game of horror and deception.
