HOW TO PLAY
1
Deal each player a random handful of pearl tokens of different sizes and values.
2
Players take turns offering trades to each other, trying to build the highest-value matched set.
3
A trade only completes when both players agree out loud to swap their tokens.
4
Players may bluff about the value of their tokens during negotiation, since values are only checked at the end.
5
After a set number of trading rounds, everyone reveals their tokens and totals the value; the highest total wins.
