Gameplay
All players start with a hand of four circular cards and a playing mat in front of them. Going around the table, each player chooses one of their discs and places it face-down on their mat. Players play cards until someone makes a bet. The betting player bets a number of discs. After a challenge is made, players can choose to pass or raise the bet by naming a higher number.Once all players except one have passed, the remaining player must flip over all of their own cards before they start flipping over others in any order. If they flip over the amount of rose discs equal to their bet without flipping over a skull, they win the round and flip over their mat. If a skull is flipped over, the player loses one card randomly chosen by the player whose card had the skull. Once a player has lost all four of their cards, that player is eliminated.
The game ends either when a player has flipped their mat twice or only one player has not been eliminated.
