Game Rules
Be the first player to hold your wedding...
To win, collect the required number of wedding items and guests.
There are two types of cards: guests and items.
Guests give you money and Items cost money.
Some Guests have abilities that can be played once.
Some Items have powers that you can use every turn.
- Shuffle the deck of cards and place it face-down in the middle of the table. This is the draw pile.
- Give new players an "Order of Service" card so that they know how to take a turn. (Note that there are only two Order of Service cards.)
- Deal seven cards to each player. Players start without any money.
- Draw two cards (or five cards if you start the turn holding none).
- Lay down up to two Guests from your hand and take the gift amount on the card(s) from the bank.
- Lay down up to one Item (or Unique item) card from your hand lif you can afford it) and pay money into the bank. Each item has a number which indicates how much it costs.
- Choose whether to play abilities or powers. These can be played on any turn and don't need to be played the same turn the card is laid down. Note: abilities and powers can only be played from cards that are laid down on the table and not in your hand.
- Discard Quests as soon as their ability has been played. Note that if you play a Unique Item power, then you do not discard the Unique Item.
Who will be the first player to have their wedding? A player wins when they have a certain number of guest and item cards in front of them (cards in your hand do not count). The number of each required depends on the number of players:
- 2 players: 20 guests, 8 items (all different)
- 3 players: 17 guests, 7 items (all different)
- 4 players: 14 guests, 6 items (all different)
- 5 players: 11 guests, 5 items (all different)
- 6 players: 8 guests, 4 items (all different)
Note: each type of Item, e.g. Venue, has three variations of the same card. These variations don't count as 'different?. For example, if a player had three Cakes and two Oresses, then that player only has two different Items (not five).
