Rules summary
Get as many chips as you can onto your plate!
Any Chips that haven’t been stolen in between your turns get added to your plate and score points. Watch out for other players trying to steal!
Players take turns in clockwise order.
At the start of your turn, claim any Chips in front of you. Put them onto your Plate to show they have been scored. Chips on your plate can not be stolen, except via spicy cards. Reach into the Bag and pull out a Chip. Continue doing this until you BUST or decide to STOP.
- BUST. If you pull out a Chip that is the same as another Chip you pulled out this turn, you bust. Place all the Chips you drew this turn back into the Bag and end your turn.
- STOP. If you choose to stop before you bust, place all the Chips you drew in front of you. Take any Chips in front of other players that have the same number. Keep a separate pile for each type of chip.
The bag -- There are 54 chips as follows:
6 each of the numbers 1-7.
6 wilds (must be assigned a value between 1 and 7 when drawn. It keeps that value until it arrives on a plate.
6 spicy chips, (2 each of three types -- Steal, Score, and Return). Note that any two spicy chips are considered to be the same for rules involving busting, stealing, and scoring.
Steal: Move one chip from someone else's plate to yours.
Score: Move one chip from next to your plate to on your plate.
Return: Return one chip from someone else's plate to the bag.
