5 Games about Collecting

Silk Road is a 4-player board game based in china that uses cards and collectors’ tokens to earn you a better living as a merchant, fisherman, bamboo gardener, or a monk. The person with the most items collected based on the number of points they’ve collected wins the game. The game is over when someone finds the golden dragon card and indicates the last round of the game.

Jewel Thief is a card game where there are 4 different gems that you must collect and you must have 10 of each to become King, but there’s a troll card that other players can play to steal your cards.

Tattooed is a multiplayer board game that has a person’s body that’s currently blank and the object of the game is to use cards and dice to get the person covered in tattoos of your choice. The bigger the tattoo the more points you get, and in order to pick up pieces of a tattoo you must roll dice to select the card that matches the number on the die.

Chicken Soup is a card game where you try to collect as many chicken cards for your grandma to make chicken soup. Every player gets a different recipe card and must collect the things on the list, and however many chickens you need. If you get a rat or raccoon card, you lose all of your chickens and ingredients and need to start over.

Boom is a multiplayer boardgame that is in the shape of a periodic table where the players get a card of specific elements they need to create a chemical reaction, but the only way to get the elements is to create them by trading protons and neutrons or purchasing the element with money you earn based on your discoveries.

  1. Jewel Thief is an interesting idea in gameplay. I would say to maybe reconsider how many of each jewel a player needs to win. 10 of all 4 gems would mean the player would need a hand of 40 cards to win, which seems like a lot just to hold on to.
