About Klondike

Each player on their turn draws three wooden marbles from a bag. Black & grey marbles are gravel, yellow marbles are gold nuggets. The player places the marbles on the riddle - a circular aluminum plate - and tries to "pan" the gold. Other players bet on their results, adding a bluffing element to the game. (There are, as well, basic & advanced rules.) Ages 6 and up
