Diamonds is a trick-taking card game in which players collect Diamonds - not cards bearing that suit, mind you, but rather actual diamond crystals included in the game.
In Diamonds, when you cannot follow suit you get a suit action based on what suit you do play.
Suit actions are also taken by the winner of each trick, as well as at the end of a full round of play.
Suit actions will enable players to take diamonds from the supply, moving them to their showroom (where they may score 1 point) or to their vault (where they will score 2 points).
The vault is a secure area, but the showroom is vulnerable to theft by the other players.
After a full round of ten tricks, whoever has taken the most cards in each suit once again gets a suit action.
If a player has taken no tricks, that player gets two Diamonds suit actions.
Players then start a new round. Whoever has the most points at the end of the game wins!
