Rules Summary

Draw and play cards to keep your characters alive while causing other players' beans to die in ridiculous ways. Last surviving player wins.

How to Play

Objective Be the last player with living beans/characters remaining, or survive longer than the other players by avoiding deadly effects. Setup Shuffle the deck and deal each player a starting hand. Give each player a small set of bean/character cards or a starting survivor area if included. Place the remaining deck in the center as a draw pile and leave space for a discard pile. Turn Structure Draw a card if the rules or turn structure require it. Play one or more action, hazard, or defense cards as allowed. Resolve any attack or danger effects targeting yourself or other players. Discard down if needed and pass the turn. End of Game The game ends when only one player still has surviving beans/characters left, or when an end condition printed in the rules is met. That player is the winner. Notes Exact card names and timing may vary by edition. The core feel is comedic danger, sudden reversals, and trying not to lose your beans to absurd accidents.
