Distant islands with golden treasures — who hasn't dreamed of that?! Silver & Gold combines simple rules, fast action, luck, and planning as players try to complete treasure map after treasure map, with the maps being printed on wipeable cards to allow for endless adventures.
Silver & Gold is my foray into the ‘flip and write’ genre which I had been really enjoying. It was also another chance to explore polyomino shapes, and all the different satisfying ways they can fit together. The idea to use dry-erase cards in the game was almost accidental. I was working on another design where you built 3D buildings out of cubes on foundation cards. I transplanted a few elements of this game into the very 2D Silver & Gold, and when I did this, the decision to have players write on different map cards seemed very natural.
