User summary In the game ??? (MAMEY), players are farmers trying to harvest beans and to sell bunches of them to the market. Each bean card has a color and a number. Players choose and take cards in Winston Draft (see below). With the cards taken this way, players discard a set of cards (X consecutive cards of the same color, X cards of the same number and color, or X cards with the same number and different colors) and earn Mamey (game currency). The player with the most Mamey wins the game. Winston Draft: There are three slots (numbered 1, 2, and 3), each of which contains several cards. Initially, each slot has one face-down card. During your turn, you look at all cards in slot 1, and take them all or leave them all. If you left them, you do the same on slot 2. Repeat the process until you take cards in a slot or you leave cards on slot 3, in which case you draw a card from the draw pile. In any case, reveal all cards in the slots you looked and didn't take, and add one face-down card on each of these slots and the slot you took. Then the turn goes to the next player.
