Gold rush is very similar to Crsytal Clash with the exception it is a solo event not an alliance event. Before the start, a prep phase initiates

1. At the start, buildings will be available to capture. Levels 1, 2, or 3 are obtainable. These buildings are used for capturing gold over time

2. The higher the building, the more gold will be collected. When hit for the first time, 3 piles of gold will disburse around the building. Collect these as fast as you can, you can only collect one at a time at first.

3. Mercenaries are scattered around the map, there is a special button on tje left to find them. They give you gold upon defeating them that goes towards your score, and towards a special skill tree to unlock abilities for the event.

4. When chosing abilities you should chose one of the preset skill tree sets, I suggest beginner if you've never done it before. It is labeled beginners. You'll have to set the buttons yourself, bit it will tell you which ones. 

5. The event is 30 minutes, at 20 and 10 minutes left, troves erupt from the ground containing high amount of gold, pull and gatherers you have and send them to these as fast as you can

 These will provide a substantial amount of points for you.

6. After a set period of time, the middle will open and a large building will become avaliable. This building collects a lot of resources and has its own ranking system based on time held. You'll find thst whales usually own this, I suggest if youre not a whale to keep gathering and forget the middle.

7. There are no base hits, only hits on buildings you are gathering at or someone else is gathering. If you lose a fight against someone while gathering in a buying or troves, your hero thst was in there will be on a cool down before being able to he used again. I suggest pulling gatherers if you feel like youre going to lose.
