coinage
Coin Age is a microgame for two players that's played with a single card and pocket change.
Players take turns placing coins on a map to control spaces, outmaneuver their opponent, and score victory points.
Coin Age uses an innovative coin slap mechanism to determine available actions.
On a player's turn, they take one of each of their remaining types of coins in hand (one quarter, one nickel, one penny, and one dime), shakes them up, then slaps them on the table.
Based on the number of coins that match their side, players can then either place coins on the map, move previously placed coins to an adjacent space, or remove them altogether.
When placing coins, players may also place their coins on top of the opponent's coins if their size/rank is smaller, so while a quarter will give you the most victory points at the end of the game, it has the highest probability of being covered by your opponent.
Coin Age is a quick-playing area control game with lots of player interaction and a bit of push-your-luck gameplay.

Gameplay
- Place the map card in the center. Each player gets 4 dimes, 3 pennies, 2 nickels and 1 quarter. Heads play first.
- On your turn, throw a coin of each kind that you have remaining in your bank. Count how many of them match your side and perform that action. You can perform part of your available actions if you want.
- If 4 matches, you can place 2 coins. You may also give one matching coin to your opponent to place an extra coin.
- If 2 or 3 matches, you can place 2 of the matching coins. If 1 matches, you may place the 1 matching coin and/or move a stack to an adjacent space. If none matches, capture the top coin of a stack and place it in your bank and/or move a stack to an adjacent space.
- Coins can be placed in any empty space, or an occupied space if your rank is lower (dime<penny<nickel<quarter). Spaces with 1 or more coins are called stacks.
End of the Game
- The game ends when a player has used all their coins or all spaces are occupied. Game proceeds to scoring.
- If a coin is on the top of a stack, it controls that space. Score points according to the coin (dime:1, penny:2, nickel:3, quarter:4).
- For each region, if a player controls a number of spaces strictly more than their opponent, double the points in that region.
- Score 1 point for each coin remaining in the bank.
- The player with the most points wins. In case of a tie, the player with the highest value of coins in bank wins.
Variants
- Maps: There are 4 maps available with different size of regions. You can also choose at random.
