Al chile (2023)

Overview

Al chile is a party game that allows you to expose tour friends and reveal what they truly think about you.

Here's how it works: one player selects a card and reads it out loud. Then, on the count of three, everyone points to the person they believe the card best describes. However, each time people point, different scenarios will arise that result in players gaining or losing peppers, which are small pepper-shaped tokens.

If you point at yourself and the majority of players also point at you, you gain 2 peppers. If you don't point at yourself and the majority of players point at you, you lose 2 peppers. If you point at yourself but nobody else points at you, you gain the "totopo" (or nacho). While you hold the "totopo", you can't gain peppers. To lose it, another player must take it or someone else must point at you while you point at yourself. If you choose not to point to anyone, you lose 1 pepper. If there's a tie in the majority votes, nobody gains or loses peppers.

The aim of the game is to be the first player to reach 25 peppers or to have the most peppers when no more are available to take.
