Setup

The rules, step by step

Setup
Spicy is a card game for 2 to 6 players. Start by shuffling the single deck of spice cards, which players draw from and share. Place trophy cards worth 10 points nearby. In advanced mode, include special golden-red challenge cards to vary the rules.
Objective
The main objective is to become the ultimate cat in the kingdom by scoring the most points. Players achieve this by cleverly bluffing about the spice type and hotness level of cards they play, catching opponents' bluffs, and collecting valuable cards and trophies.
On your turn
On your turn, you can either play a card face down onto the stack, correctly calling out its spice type (chili, wasabi, or pepper) and a hotness value higher than the previous card, or you can pass and draw a card. Alternatively, you can bluff about the card's value or type, risking a challenge.
Scoring
Points are accumulated throughout the game by collecting trophy cards worth 10 points each, and by scoring precious points for every individual card won in face-down stacks when successfully bluffing or challenging opponents.
Game end
The game concludes immediately if a player collects two trophy cards, or automatically ends when all trophy cards are gone or the world's end card is revealed. The player with the highest total points wins.
Tips
Wild cards can represent any spice or number, making them powerful assets. Use deduction to challenge opponents' bluffs on either spice type or hotness level, but make sure you are correct to avoid handing them the win.
