Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Mancala — Players pick up all meeples at one location and distribute them clockwise or anti-clockwise around the board. Actions are resolved based on the final location of the meeples.
- Player Elimination (of meeples) — Meeples can be killed in shootouts and go to the graveyard.
- Push Your Luck — Drawing a dynamite cube from the bag adds disincentives and can trigger game end conditions.
- Resource management — Players manage gold and stone resources, using them for building and converting gold into gold bars. Specific rules govern hoarding and loss of resources.
- set collection — Players aim to collect gold bars and build marquee tiles to score points.
- worker placement — Different meeple types (builders, miners, robbers, deputies, madam) are placed on the board and perform specific actions related to resources and interaction.
