Read the full game description

The game contains a topographic board, 91 gold-markers and three two-sided 'dice'. Both players search for gold, one in the mountains, and the other in the rivers. Every prospecting area is at the same moment part of a mountain and part of a river. If all gold is found in a prospecting area of a mountain or a river, the mountain or river player can protect the find. Thus the player that finds the gold first can block the other from the find.
