The first player gets 3 turmeric, the second and third player get 4 turmeric, the fourth and fifth get 3 turmeric and a saffron.

Draw 5 cards from the point deck and place them in a line, with the deck to the right of the cards. Place gold coins equal to two times the number of players on the leftmost point card and the same number of silver coins on the second point card.

Each player gets a 'collect 2 turmeric' and an 'upgrade 2' card as starting hand. Draw 6 cards from the merchant card deck and place them in a line as well, similar to the point cards.

Gameplay

On your turn, you can either play a card from your hand, rest(pick up all cards you have played), buy a merchant card or claim a point card. Any merchant cards will go straight into your hand after buying.

The first type of card you can play from your hand are resource cards. These allow you to gain spices shown on the card.

The second type is upgrade cards, which allows you to upgrade spices twice, whether it be one spice upgraded twice or two upgraded once each. For the 'Upgrade 3' merchant card, you can upgrade three times. You can upgrade only once as well if you wish.

The last type is a trade card, which allows the player to exchange spices for other spices (usually stronger ones). The trade can be done multiple times if the player desires to do so. All merchant cards can only be played again if you rest.

If you rest, take back all the merchant cards played by you. No other action can be taken after this on your turn.

Merchant cards can bought for an increasing price, the further to the right the card is. The first card on the left is free, but any cards further along require more spices. To buy a 'deeper' card, you must place a spice on each of the cards left of the card to buy. If a card you buy has spices on it, you gain them instantly.

If you buy a point card, pay the spices indicated and take it. If there are coin(s) on the top left of the card, you will get this coin as well. If the gold coins are depleted, the silver coins move to the leftmost position instead of the second position along.

You can only have at most 10 spices at the end of your turn, and must discard any excess. You can choose which spices you want to discard from your hand.

The spice ranks from low to high are:

Turmeric Saffron Cardamom Cinnamon
