It's a literal "buried gold" hunt in the classic sense (a lost, sought-after thing), reframed through the theme's own suggestion that the treasure doesn't have to be precious metal, it can be something

Very cool real-time card battler. Would like to know what each card does when hovering over it in battle, though. Love the theme! Missing some fun SFX. The main idea here is very good and could easily be improved with some polish, tool tips, and backgrounds.
