djeco card game diamoniak - strategy game

Build the castle in the right color with the strategic card game Diamoniak by Djeco. Bold or cautious, every player chooses their own strategy to build their castle before the witches cast a spell on them. A great game for Halloween and any other day to chase the witches away.

Goal of the game:
Be the first to put the castle of your color back together.

During the game, there are 4 possibilities:

1. The player draws a “castle” card: If the player is not building a castle yet, they place the card in front of them. They will have to put the castle of this drawn color back together (unless another player is already building a castle of this color). On following turns, all “castle” cards of this color allow them to keep putting the castle together; “castle” cards of other colors go to their right (they can get rid of them or let others buy them during the round). After drawing a "castle" card, the player can keep drawing a card from the deck.
2. The player draws a “fairy” card: they place it to their right and can keep drawing a card from the deck.
3. The player draws a "diamond" card: they place it to their right and can keep drawing a card from the deck. The "diamond" cards allow the player to buy a "castle" card from an opponent to complete their own castle (3 "diamond" cards in exchange for 1 "castle" card).
   Please note:
   - If the player wants to buy a "castle" card (1 per single turn), they do not draw a card from the deck during this turn.
   - The opponent may not refuse to sell a "castle" card.
4. The player draws a "witch" card: tough luck! The player places 3 cards from their hand (diamonds, castle pieces belonging to other players, or their own!) + the "witch" card next to the deck and ends their turn (if they have fewer than 3 cards left, they hand back all remaining cards). If they own a "fairy" card: the player can use it to stop the witch by placing the 'witch' card + the "fairy" card next to the deck. The player then ends their turn.
