How to play?
At the beginning of the game, players receive 1 gold card with a denomination of 0 and 12 cards of regular metals.
Then the player looks at the received cards and decides how many bribes they can win in the current round — this will be their bet, which they indicate by placing a card of any metal with a denomination equal to their bet face up on the table.

Then players start playing bribes. The leading player plays 1 card of regular metal from their hand, placing it face up next to them. Players then take turns in a clockwise direction, also playing 1 card. A card of an already played regular metal cannot be played, but a player can place a gold card instead of a regular metal — it beats any regular metal cards. After all players have played 1 card, it is determined who won the bribe. The player who placed a card of regular metal with the highest denomination or a gold card wins — they take the regular metal cards of the bribe and place them in front of themselves. The player who played the card of regular metal with the lowest denomination takes 1 gold card of the same denomination from the common supply — they have transformed regular metal into gold.

The round ends when one of the participants cannot play a card. Scoring begins. If a player won fewer bribes than their bet, they do not earn points. If they won more bribes, they earn points equal to their bet. If a player took the exact number of bribes, they earn double the points equal to their bet. Gold cards in the player's supply also bring points. The player with the highest number of points wins the round and receives 1 nugget.

The game ends when a player or team wins 2 rounds.
