Original Mulodi

1. Take the 2 rule cards out of the deck.
2. Shuffle the deck.
3. Deal 5 cards to each player.
4. Put the remaining cards face down in the centre. This is the draw pile.
5. Pick up the cards dealt to you, but don’t show anyone your cards.

There are 3 places you can play cards:

1. Pick up 2 cards from the draw pile.
2. Play up to 3 cards. A play is any time a card is laid on the table. You don’t have to play all 3 if you don’t want to.

• Your bank: money cards, or action cards played as money, face up in front of you.
• Your property section: property cards face up in front of you.
• The middle of the table: action cards, to use their effect.

At the end of your turn you can’t have more than 7 cards in your hand. If you do, put the extra cards back into the deck.

• Play money cards onto the table to place them in your bank.
• There is no change in the game. You pay with what you have on the table.
• You cannot pay with cards still in your hand.
• Cards played on the table can never go back to anyone’s hand.

• Play property cards face up in front of you to build sets. The card tells you how many of that colour make a full set, e.g. 3 yellow or 2 blue.
• Every property has a cash value in its top-left corner. Once played, it can be used to pay like money.
• Properties can’t go in your bank. If a player pays you with a property, it becomes one of your properties.
