Report A Bug FullScreen

Game Description:

Nugget Royale is a fast-paced, strategic card game where players compete to collect and trade nuggets, while navigating the challenges of the royal court. With a dash of luck and a pinch of cunning, players must outmaneuver their opponents to emerge victorious and claim the coveted title of Nugget Royale Champion.

How to Play:

Shuffle the deck and deal 5 cards to each player.
The remaining cards are placed face down in a draw pile.
The top card of the draw pile is turned over and placed beside it, face up, to create the discard pile.
The player to the left of the dealer goes first, and then play moves clockwise.
On each player’s turn, they can choose one of the following actions:
- Draw a card from the draw pile
- Play a nugget card from their hand
- Trade a nugget card from their hand with a nugget card from another player’s hand
- Use a special ability on a nugget card in their hand
The game ends when one player has collected all the nuggets in the discard pile. That player is the winner.
