Nacho Pile

Players reach into a bag to draw chips and push their luck to build tall piles of nachos. On a turn, draw chips one at a time until choosing to stop or until a duplicate appears, which causes the drawn chips to be returned to the bag and the turn to end. If a player stops, the drawn chips go in front of them and they may immediately claim matching-value chips from other players. Chips that survive until the player’s next turn move onto the player’s plate and cannot be stolen. The round sequence continues until only one chip remains in the bag; that final chip determines the winning value (or total chips, if it’s a special/wild). Special chips introduce spicy effects that alter play.
