The first player to fill all four wagons walks away from Sparkle Mountain, the richest gnome in the realm! Once you’ve collected the gems you can, return uncollected gems to the board and pass the hammer to the next player.
You can only fill one wagon and one task per turn. This task card can be used as a wild gem to fill any spot in a wagon. If you fulfill this requirement, you complete the task. A task could ask for a certain number of gems or a certain type of gem. After knocking off gems, check the task card to see if you complete it. Tap too light one turn and the next you will send half the gems flying! While hammering a box might sound easy, it is tricky to find just the right touch. If you knock off nine or more gems, watch out! You made too much noise with your hammering! Dragomir wakes up and all the gems are returned to the board. When the wagon card is full, set it aside, flip over a new wagon card, and return the gems to the board. If any of the gems you knocked off match your wagon card, place them on the card. Each wagon card has a specific combination of colored gems. If there are 8 or less gems, great! Compare the gems to your wagon card. If you knock even one gem off the box, stop hammering! Your turn is over.Ĭount the gems you knocked off. You can knock gently or with great gusto BUT the goal is to tap just hard enough to knock the right combination of gems off the edge of the box. On your turn, you will take the hammer and tap along any side of the box.
The first player to fill four wagon cards with gems wins the game. Hammer Time is a game about knocking gems off a box with a hammer. Each player shuffles their wagon cards and flips one face up. There are two types of cards in the game: task cards (which can provide a bonus gem) and wagon cards (each player has four).įinally, there’s a color die used for the Master variant of the game. It’s no surprise the chunky wooden hammer is the star of the show. You will permanently attach this to the box bottom. There’s a large mousepad-like sticker illustrated with cavern walls and Dragomir the Dragon sleeping in the corner. The game board is very unconventional it’s the bottom of the box turned over, so it forms a mini-table. 90 brightly colored gemstones in 6 different colors will be strewn across the game board. Hammer Time is a sparkly sight to behold. Make too much noise and he will chase you away! Dragomir the Dragon sleeps under the mountain. You and your crew of gnomes are ready to fill your wagons with riches, tapping rubies, diamonds, and emeralds loose from the walls with your trusty hammer. Sparkle mountain stands before you, its caverns filled with glittering gems.
