A "marago" is a space on the gameboard or a card. Every time it is your turn, choose a marago. At the END of the game: YOU WIN THE GAME=you have 25-250 points more than everyone else. YOU BUST THE GAME=you got the lowest score and you're behind the highest scorer by more than 250. YOU ALL SENSEI=if no one wins and no one busts the game, you all tie. OTHER BASICS: POINTS: every time you take a marago, it scores you points. the amount of points depends on several criteria, especially in relation to the maragos you've already taken. DIBS & BIDS: every marago is part of a "group" of maragos. if you're the first player to take a marago in that group, for the rest of the game you have "Dibs" on all remaining maragos of that group. this means that when another payer wants to take a marago from the group you have Dibs on, you can Bid for that marago. ADVANCED-VARIANT: "wild cards" variant enables various additional dynamics.
