There are only 3 pictures shown at start of the game.

Each player gets 10 tokens, and 10 tokens are placed in the common area.

Players bet any number of tokens on their answer. Wrong and you loose your tokens to the common area. Right and you gain a number of tokens from the common area equal to your bet. The active player gains a number of tokens equal to the players who guessed correctly.

Game ends when there are no more tokens in the common area.

The player with the most tokens is the winner.
