Diamant (also known as Incan Gold) is a fast-paced, push-your-luck board game full of adrenaline and fun. Players take on the roles of adventurous explorers who delve into ancient ruins to collect precious gems—but they must be careful, as the paths are riddled with traps that can abruptly end their expedition.
The game’s theme is classic adventure exploration, taking players deep into ancient temples and caves. Throughout the game, players face familiar adventure challenges such as traps, dangers, and opportunities to claim treasure. The experience feels like an action movie, where players must constantly decide whether to press on and risk everything or turn back in time with the wealth they’ve earned.
In each round, players enter a new chamber of the temple, which may be filled with gems or may conceal a deadly trap. If gems are revealed, the treasure is divided evenly among the players who are still exploring. Each player then chooses whether to continue the expedition in search of greater rewards or to return to camp and secure their current winnings. The risk increases with every step, as encountering a trap (such as spiders, snakes, or cave-ins) can end the expedition and cause adventurers to lose everything they have collected during that round.
Players who choose to return keep their treasures, while those who push on and face the dangers have the chance to gain even greater riches or relics that grant additional points. When the final chamber of the temple is revealed, the game ends, and the player with the largest treasure wins.
Diamant is popular for its simple rules combined with tense, decision-driven gameplay based on risk assessment. Every game is filled with moments where players must judge whether to turn back or continue exploring.
The game is a new, visually enhanced edition of the classic Incan Gold.
