Select an Action
Select one of Action cards ① to ⑥.
According to the Menu card you have in front of you, the additional effect for choosing the Action is also applied.
Take Materials
If there are any Material tokens on the chosen Action card, take all Material tokens on that card.
In addition to Blue, Green, White and Red Material tokens, there are Yellow tokens with which you can receive $2 chit.
Note: If you take a Yellow Material token, immediately receive $2 chit and discard that token on the Used Material area.
Activate the Action
You can choose whether or not to activate the effect of the Action card you have chosen.
① Purchasing: Take 1 Material token from the Used Material area. You may also choose to take a Yellow Material token ($2). If the Material you want is not in the Used Material area, you can check inside the bag and take a Material in it.
② Regular Business: Pay 2 same Material tokens and receive $5.
③ Opening a Fair: Pay 3 same Material tokens and receive 5 VP.
④ Regional Contribution: Pay $5 and receive 4 VP.
⑤ Menu Development: Perform the Develop or Reserve action.
a. Develop: Choose 1 Menu card in the Menu Card area or your hand, pay its menu cost and place it in front of you. You receive the VP stated on the Menu card immediately when placing it in front of you. If the Menu card has a special ability, it remains effective during the game to the Player who has placed the Menu card in front of them. Then draw 1 Menu card from the top of the deck and replenish the Menu Card area until there are 4 Menu cards there.
b. Reserve: Take 1 card from the Menu Card area and keep it as your hand. Then draw 1 Menu card from the top of the deck and replenish the Menu Card area until there are 4 Menu cards there. You can only keep 1 Menu Card as your hand. Until you have placed that card in front of you, you cannot add any Menu card to your hand. (Meanwhile, you can take cards from the Menu Card area and place them in front of you.)
⑥ Trading: You can trade Material tokens and VP. You can convert your items up to 3 times per Trading according to the table as shown. To get a Material token, pay the Money matching its cost and take the Material token from the Used Material area. If the Material token you want is not in the Used Material area, you can check inside the bag and take a Material token in it. You can also get Money by discarding Material tokens, get VP by discarding Money, and get Money by discarding VP.
Distribute Materials
Draw 2 Material tokens from the bag without checking what is in it, and then check the tokens and place each of them on different Action cards.
You cannot place them on an Action card that already has 6 Material tokens on it. Also, you cannot place the 2 tokens that you have drawn on the same Action card.
End the Turn
The current turn ends and the turn of play moves to the next player in clockwise order.
End of the Game
If one of the players has acquired 30 VP and over at the end of their turn, end the game after taking turns up to the player at the right of the start player (so that all the players have taken the same number of turns).
Scoring
After the end of the game, the players convert all of their Material tokens into Money at the rate of ⑥Trading (regardless of the upper limit to the Money each player can keep), and then convert every $3 into 1 additional VP. Then the player with the highest VP wins.
In case of a tie, the tie player with more Menu cards placed in front of them wins.
If that is also a tie, the tie players shall play a board game with the playing time of at least 2 hours to determine the winner.
Note: the printed text reads "withthe playing time"; the missing space is a typesetting error and is read here as "with the playing time".
