Resetti Spaghetti Tutorial!

SETUP

  • Distribute Souls: Give each player a Soul card. Place the Soul Selling cards in a visible location accessible to everyone.

  • Prepare GPA Counting Cards: Set the GPA Counting cards in a pile to the side.

  • Add Resetti Spaghetti Cards: Shuffle 1 or 2 Resetti Spaghetti cards into the deck, depending on how fast you want each round to be.

  • Distribute Eyes of the Board:

    • Give half of the players (rounded down) an Eye of the Board.

    • The first player to declare a desire to go first receives an Eye of the Board.

    • Pass any remaining Eyes of the Board to each player clockwise until all Eyes have been distributed.

  • Initial Draw: Each player draws 7 cards to start the game.

EVERY ROUND

  • Reshuffle Deck: Shuffle all Keepers, Resetti Spaghetti, and the discard pile back into the deck.

  • Pass Eye of the Board: Players with an Eye of the Board pass it clockwise to the next player.

  • Draw Cards: Each player draws until they have 7 cards.

  • Starting Player: The player who drew the Resetti Spaghetti last round goes first.

  • Take Turns: Players take turns in a clockwise order until someone draws the Resetti Spaghetti.

  • Calculate GPA:

    • At the end of the round, calculate the GPA from the discard pile.

    • Each normal card is worth 0.1 GPA.

    • Green class cards are worth the value shown on their face.

    • All players with an Eye of the Board receive the calculated GPA.

EVERY TURN

Perform these actions in any order:

  • Draw a Card: Draw one card from the deck.

  • Play Cards: Play any number of cards from your hand.

  • Sell Your Soul: Sell your Soul to the College Board if you choose.

CARD INFO

  • Bold Bordered Cards (Keepers): Place these in front of you face up. Their effects are always active until the round ends.

  • Pink Cards: Shuffle cards around.

  • Yellow Cards: Provide helpful information.

  • Orange Cards: Affect other players’ turns.

  • Light Blue Cards: Serve as utility cards.

  • Dark Blue Cards: Help you draw more cards.

  • Purple Cards: Allow you to steal cards from other players.

  • Green Cards: Grant different amounts of GPA.

HOW DO I SELL MY SOUL?

  • Initial Sale: The first time you sell your soul, use the Soul Selling I card.

  • Subsequent Sales: Each time you sell your soul, move up one tier of Soul Selling.

  • Selling Process:

    • Perform the action described on the Soul Selling card.

    • Place your Soul card next to the Soul Selling card.

    • Your Soul is now sold and cannot be used again until the Soul Resetti card is drawn.

CLARIFICATIONS

  • Negative GPA: No player can ever have a negative GPA. Take pity on them :)

  • Swap Shuffle: If the shuffling process results in Resetti Spaghetti ending up in the discard pile, remove it and shuffle it back into the deck.

  • Flip: Turn the deck so that the bottom card is now on top.

  • Reveal: Flip the cards in your hand so that other players can see their positions.

STRATEGY

While the game may seem simple at first, the strategy can be complex. Here are some tips learned during playtesting:

  • Maximize GPA with the Eye of the Board: If you have the Eye of the Board, play as many cards as possible since each card contributes to your GPA.

  • Be Selective Without the Eye of the Board: If you don’t have the Eye of the Board, carefully consider the necessity of playing cards. Focus on drawing cards to find the Resetti Spaghetti, but avoid playing cards unless absolutely necessary.

  • Timing with Green Cards: Don’t always play green cards immediately, as they can be countered by Souls, Swap Shuffles, or Sleep In cards. Time your plays strategically.
