... 38... and five makes 43... and seven makes 50... and that is the Finish, the End, Enough! Nobody may go over 50 points! However many special Action cards give the players the chance to push their luck for as long as possible before exceeding the limit. The one who finally gets caught, however, gets stuck with a penalty chip. The winner is the player with fewest penalty chips at the end of the game.
