Bull in a China Shop: Action Cards (2007)

Overview

In this expansion, the Pass action is replaced with the Play an Action Card option.

There are several Action Cards available: - Discard a bull card - Discard a china card from the general display - Draw a money card - Exchange a china card you own with a china card from the general display - Replace all bull cards with new ones - Make the player to your right play

Play with the basic rules with the following additions.

Additional material: 14 action cards (6 sorts)

Preparation: The pass cards are not needed, remove them from the game. Shuffle the new action cards. Each player gets two and keeps them secret from the others. Make a draw pile from the rest.

Game play: On each player’s turn, they may either: Buy a china card or Take a bull card or Play an action card

Play an action card: The player plays an action card (=> discard pile) and fulfills the action, if he likes. Then the next player has his turn.

Action card pile exhausted: Shuffle the discard pile and build a new draw pile.

Loose more than one china card: The player gets the money card as usual and an additional action card from the draw pile, if available.
