Players compete in a spicy contest as they try to play and collect chilli cards to make sets. Chilli cards are valued from 1 to 12, with the number representing the set's value, and also how many of that card are in the deck.
Players take turns and on your turn you MUST play a card from your hand (even if you really, really don't want to!). To end your turn, draw back up to three cards and then it is the next player's turn.
You'll either be playing chilli cards to make sets, or special cards to change things up at the table!
At the end of the game, the sets will be scored and players compare how many of each card they played. A player with outright majority scores points equal to the set's value. Points are split evenly in the event of a tie, but if you start a set and end up coming outright last you're in for some negative points!
The lower value chillies are easier to win, but the high value chillies offer greater rewards. How much are you willing to push your luck, and how stubborn will you be about claiming superiority in your sets?
