Sir Ocelot's Cave

Deep underground waits a cave full of glittering treasure. Sir Ocelot and Professor Penguin both head for it, because whoever collects the finest gemstones wins the game. In Sir Ocelot's Cave you crawl deeper and deeper into the tunnels together. And the further you get, the more precious the finds become. Each turn you place a tile on the board. That can be a tool, such as a compass, a lamp or a pickaxe, or your loyal companion who goes with you everywhere. As soon as a cave tile is framed from three sides by the right kinds of tools, you may take it. If you find a geode or a complete set of celestine, you draw an amethyst from the bag for that level. Some stones are worth a fixed number of points, while others score based on what you collect or deliberately leave behind. After sixteen turns the cave has been cleared out and everyone counts their loot. The player with the most valuable collection wins. A lovely game for two that plays nice and quickly, yet still gives you plenty of choices to make you want to dig again and again.
