Gold is flowing down the river! Law abiding townsfolk rush to claim their fortunes while bandits lie in wait to take it all for themselves.

Gold Hustle is a fast-paced game where players choose from their hand of wild west characters to take, share or steal the gold nuggets in the river. Read your opponents, work out their plans and time your moves carefully to grab the most gold and win.

How it works
Each round starts by revealing a new river card to see how much gold has been discovered. With the new gold added to the river, plus the stash on the hideout card, there's plenty up for grabs! You might even be able to swindle some of your opponents’ hard earned gold if you’re crafty enough.

With the gold in place it’s time to secretly choose your character for the round. Choose carefully, once a character has been played you’ll have to wait to get them back. When everyone has picked it’s time to reveal them all and see their plans. Characters all have an ability, which trigger in order.

Once everyone has finished activating their character any gold left in the river is shared equally between gamblers, prospectors and deputies. Of course, there might not be any left if it was smuggled away or stolen by an outlaw.

It’s time to start a new round, with a new river card. Watch out for raiders! If a raid card is drawn everyone pays gold to the hideout, one for each character they've played. Playing your sheriff to recall characters at the right time can save precious gold.

After 10 rounds the player with the most gold wins!
