Special Rules
Coins
Coins are a resource, granted by global Income cards. If a card has a numerical cornervalue, it's played by paying that many Coins rather than the normal 1-action-per-turn and 1-Thing-per-turn limits. Coins are kept between turns.
The game starts with 1 Income in play. Once at least half the players have taken their turn on the first round, add another Income. Other cards can add another Income to a limit of 8. Additionally, if there are more than 3 players, the last player starts the game with an extra Coin.
Some Things have a Use ability, with a cost in coins. Those Things can only be Used once per turn, unless another card Readies them between uses.
Treasure Deck
There's a special deck of Treasure cards. Keep it separate from the main deck. Treasures also have a separate discard pile. All Treasures are Things.
Treasure Shelf
Players get Treasures by buying them from the Treasure Shelf, a row of Treasures. The Treasure Shelf's size is three plus the number of players. If the Shelf is ever not full, fill it from the Treasure Deck.
To buy a Treasure, simply pay its cost in Coins.
Winning
You win by gaining 10 Activity Points in one turn. You get an Activity Point every time you play a card from your hand or Use a Thing. Activity Points are lost at the end of a turn.
