Pili Pili: extra spicy Rules Summary

Goal

Pilis 🌶️ are penalty points.

Points are bad, you don't want points.

The game ends as soon as someone reaches 8 🌶️. The player with the fewest 🌶️ wins.

Game Contents

  • The shuffled Game Card deck consists of 60 cards:
    • 52 Number Cards: unique numbers ranging from 1 to 55. Includes dual-value cards (e.g., 25/52). There are no suits.
    • 8 Special Cards (no numerical value): introduce unique effects (e.g., hand swaps, value inversions, forcing hand reveals, giving penalty Pilis).
  • A shuffled deck of 18 Mission Cards.
  • 23 double-sided Pili Cards (penalty markers).
  • 8 Bid Reminder Cards.

Gameplay

Each round follows these steps:

  1. Reveal Mission & Deal Cards:
    1. Draw and reveal the top Mission Card; its rule applies to the current round.
    2. The number shown on the back of the next Mission Card in the deck indicates how many Game Cards are dealt to each player.
  2. Make Bids:
    1. Starting with the dealer and going clockwise, each player bids the exact number of tricks they predict they will win.
    2. New in extra spicy: Bids are completely free! The total sum of player bids no longer needs to differ from the number of cards dealt.
  3. Win Tricks:
    1. The player to the dealer's left plays the first card.
    2. In clockwise order, each player plays one card.
    3. The highest-value Number Card wins the trick and leads the next one.
      1. When playing a dual-value card, the player immediately chooses which of the two values applies.
      2. Special Cards have no value and cannot win a trick. If a trick contains only Special Cards, it is discarded and nobody wins it.
  4. Hand Out Penalty Pilis:
    1. After all cards are played, each player receives 1 🌶️ penalty for each trick they were off by (difference between bid and actual tricks won).
  5. End of Game:
    1. As soon as any player reaches 8 🌶️, the game ends. The player(s) with the fewest 🌶️ wins.
