Goal of the Game
- The first player with three Treasures wins.
Game Setup
- Place the Treasure cards in a faceup pile. This is the Treasure pile.
- Shuffle the rest of the cards and place them in a facedown pile. This is the game deck. (Leave space for a faceup discard pile.)
- Each player draws a hand of three cards from the deck.
Taking Your Turn
- Play one card from your hand. Any time you play a card, you reveal it, perform the action written on it, then place it on top of the discard pile (unless the card says to place it somewhere else).
- (End of Turn) Reset your hand to its maximum size. Each player's maximum hand size is three cards. Draw cards from the deck if you do not have enough in your hand, or discard cards from your hand if you have too many.
Turn Order
- The player who most recently interacted with water goes first. This includes drinking water, washing hands, tears of joy, etc.
- Players take turns in clockwise order.
Need Some Answers?
- The only time a player resets their hand to its maximum size is at the end of their turn. It is common for a player to begin their turn with not enough, or too many, cards in their hand.
- A card placed in front of a player affects that player until it is moved or discarded. Only card actions can move or discard a card placed in front of a player.
- If the deck runs out of cards, shuffle the discard pile to make a new deck.
- If part of a card's action or player's turn cannot be completed, ignore that part and complete the rest of the action or turn.
- Treasure should never be in the deck, the discard pile, or a player's hand.
Card Notes
- Treasure: "Place this card in front of you when you receive it. +1 to your Treasure total. If this card is discarded, return it to the Treasure pile instead."
- Sunken Chest: "Discard the top three cards of the deck. If no Bubbles are discarded, collect one Treasure from the Treasure pile."
- Bubbles: "Do nothing."
