Everyone draws chips from their bags, placing them on the appropriate numbered space in their pots. You’re aiming to get as far around the board as possible. If you draw over 7 cherry bombs, your pot explodes! You decide when you stop!
Once all players have stopped, you score up! Complete the special chip actions if relevant, collect rubies, score victory points and go shopping! If your pot explodes, you must choose between taking the victory points or the shopping points.
After nine rounds, the player with the most victory points wins!
