Iello | Diamant | Board Game | Ages 8+ | 3 to 8 Players | 30 mins Minutes Playing Time

Myself and the family loved this game. Very easy to learn and quick to set-up. Games usually lasted for about 30 minutes. Great game of bluff and chance, which is suited to most ages. Don't think it has great replayable value as the games are very simple and would get boring after a lot of runs. The overall pieces are sturdy and well made - apart from the treasure chests which can easily fall apart, but are easy to rebuild.

Relatively simple game, which can be finished in 25 minutes, so does not get boring. We all liked it.

I bought this for Christmas as we always have family round. It was a quick to learn and fun game to play and all the group enjoyed it. But it, you won’t be disappointed!

The simple push-your-luck rules of this game turn into fantastic, laugh-inducing fun. It's a great filler game that you'll play over and over between more meatier fare. However... I ordered two copies of this and ended up with two different versions. The first copy was the UK English version and everything was as expected. The second copy turned out to be the German version and it has a serious misprint. The five "relic" cards that come with the game are completely missing their printed treasure values. You can see what the cards are supposed to look like from the printed German rulebook that it comes with but the cards are missing these values. Strangely, the photo in this Amazon listing actually shows this misprint. You can see the relic cards in one of the photos have no printed values. I contacted the manufacturer Iello but they told me that this was the one game that they don't have spare parts for and that I should try to exchange it through Amazon. I'm doing that but I'm concerned that it'll be the luck of the draw as to where I get a good copy and the UK English version (like the first copy I ordered) or another misprint. (Plus I'm having to ship to/from California because Diamant is not available in the United States.)

We love this game. One of the very few that so many players can play and its always fun to see who will chicken out first. Love it and it's my go to game for fun and exciting times.

A very addictive little game. Should you go on collecting gems or pull out and go home with the gems you have? Dangers mount up if you decide to go on, two 'bad' identical cards and you will lose everything that round. There are 5 rounds per game, five chances to get lots of gems or lose them all. All the family enjoy this fast game.

Easy to learn. Quick to play but you’ll immediately want another go. Quality components.

Good fun with the family. Younger children can understand and play this easily. They tend to love collecting the gems. The game can easily be played within 20-30 mins which is ideal in a busy household. The game hardly takes up any space when laid out and the box is quite small, so it is good for travelling.

Fun push your luck party game with great components and artwork. Everyone is competing to collect as many gems as possible but you have to share them out equally as you discover them. The deeper you go into each cave system, the higher the chance of setting off a trap and losing all your gems as you run back to safety, but you have the choice before each round to exit the cave and bank your loot (but it's a one way ticket). That can either lead to groans (if there are more gems to be discovered and you've just tapped out while everyone else is coining it) or smug pleasure (if you exited at just the right time before a trap was set off and everyone else lost their gems). It's a quick game that's easy to teach and a bit of an adrenalin rush when you push your luck just one more time and it pays off. If you like these kind of games, this one's a winner, but if you're into long thinky strategy games where you plan twenty moves ahead, this is definitely not for you.

Schnelle Lieferung, tolles Spiel für mehrere Spieler. Da sieht man, wer wagemutig oder tollkühn oder vorsichtig ist. Wir haben immer sehr viel Spaß dabei.

Reçu en version anglaise mais cela ne pose absolument aucuns soucis de compréhension. Les règles sont simples à comprendre et les parties s'enchaînent sans difficultés. Ma fille de 8 ans a très rapidement compris les règles et nous y jouons donc à 3, en famille. Très bon jeu, convivial. Je conseille..

Le concept est intéressant et demande de la stratégie pour un jeu essentiellement de hasard. Les parties sont assez rapides et mouvementées. Très bien pour encourager les enfants à compter les diamants et rubis et faire "la monnaie". A noter : pas mal de matériel est peu utile (personnages, certaines cartes etc). Les petits coffres par contre sont indispensables.

Gutes Spiel, war im Jahr 2005 auf der "Spiel des Jahres" Liste. Regeln sind super schnell erklärt. Aufgrund der Grösse kann man das Spiel sehr gut mitnehmen. Leider sind die Pappkisten nicht ganz so gut (die Ecken gehen schnell kaputt). Auch der Preis ist mit 35 Euro etwas happig. Solche Spiele bekommt man in der Regel schon zwischen 20 und 25 Euro.
