Each table has a list linking numbers to physical actions such as clapping or snapping, and every player has play money. Players roll the dice and must perform the matching action in silence, paying a penalty for mistakes. After a few rounds, the richest player at each table moves to a new table, where they discover the rules are not quite what they expected.
