Basic Rules
Deal five cards to each player. At the start of each turn draw the top card from the draw pile (deck). (If the deck's empty, shuffle the discard pile (trash) and turn it over to make a new deck.)
Play up to two cards from your hand. You can play one Thing and one Action per turn (or just one of those, or no cards at all).
At the end of your turn, check your hand size; if you have more than five cards, discard down to five.
Special Rules
Each player starts with 5 coins. At the start of each players turn they take 1 coin from the pot (if available).
"Reaction" cards are played only during your opponents turns in response to Actions they have played and declared their intentions with.
To play a Thing or Action the number of coins specified must be paid. Coins are paid to a central pot.
If an Action is canceled, the Action must still be paid for. If it is an Action card, it goes to the trash.
Optional Rules
Table talk and bribing players through trade or philanthropy of any resource is allowed if both parties agree to the ownership transferal.
Conditions of a deal may be stipulated before a trade but these conditions are suggestions and are not binding after the deal is made.
