These tokens can be used to hinder an opponent’s progress or force them to complete an additional task. For example:

Gameplay Examples:

• In Round 1, Player 1 draws a “Naughty Card” that says “Steal a present from another player’s pile and add it to your own.” They choose a present from Player 2’s pile and add it to their own. Player 1 earns points and gets to assign a “Naughty Token” to Player 3, forcing them to skip their next turn.
• In Round 2, Player 2 draws a “Naughty Card” that says “Play a prank on a teammate, forcing them to complete an additional task.” They choose Player 4 as their target and make them complete an extra task. Player 2 earns points and gets to assign a “Naughty Token” to Player 1, making them lose a point.
