Gold Rush Basics

Gold Rush

Gold Rush


Gold Rush is a teeter totter game of give and take. Each player starts with six gold nuggets that weight 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 lbs each. The goal of the game is to be the first one to win a total of 32 lbs by tipping the scales in their favor.


Each round a random gold nugget is tossed on to the tetter totter and the players toss out one nugget each from their own pile. The heaviest nugget wins by tipping the see saw to their side.


This game relies on your ability to guess what your opponent will do. Will they toss out their heaviest nugget, or one in the middle? Which nugget should you toss out? You only have one of each kind so if you use your 6 pounder you won’t have it later. On the other hand, maybe the stack in the middle is big enough to justify it. Hmm.... what should you do?


The buttons and game play are simple. To toss a gold nugget simply click on it. The strategy however, is up to you. Gold Rush is a fun and simple game to play, and highly addictive!
