A D6 (six sided die) is required to play.


If a player stockpiles 15 points, that player is the winner. (Different points amounts are acceptable for longer games) If there are no cards left in the draw pile, then the game is over and the winner is the player with the most points in their stockpile.
Your stockpile is the total amount of points you gather with points cards.


At the start of each player's turn, they draw a card from the deck. Then the player must choose between playing a card, either a Thing or an Action, or discarding a card from their hand. Thing cards (points cards) are played face up in front of the player who played it, and this becomes their stockpile. Action cards are played face up on the discard pile.
Normal Dvorak rules apply.


<b>Remember</b>: only one card can be played per turn. If you play a card, you may not discard and your turn is over. If you discard a card, your turn is over.
-Draw a card


-You may play one Thing card and one Action card per turn (or no cards). Recommend playing a Thing card first followed by any Action card.
-Check hand size to 5 cards.
==Victory==
If a player has 26 or more points stockpiled at the beginning of their turn (before they draw a card) they win the game. (Different points amounts are acceptable for longer games)
