Deck composition

The Rolling Paper
To play Puffs cards, you must first place a Rolling Paper in front of you.
Until you have a Rolling Paper on the table, you can't score. Once placed, it stays... unless an opponent hits you with a Paper Shortage!
Removes your Rolling Paper. You need to play a new one to resume.
Permanent immunity: your Rolling Paper can never be removed again.

Turn Structure
Each turn, draw 1 card then choose 1 action: play a Puffs card (if Rolling Paper placed and not blocked), play an Attack on an opponent, play a Defense to unblock yourself, place a Joker, or discard cards.
Attack Cards
Attack cards block an opponent — they can't play Puffs anymore. Each attack has a specific defense: Corruption counters Police Check, Water Bottle counters Bad Trip, Fertile Fertilizer counters Bad Harvest, Rolling Paper counters Paper Shortage, Pornfood counters Munchies.
Defense Cards
Each defense only counters one specific attack. The Rolling Paper has a dual role: it's mandatory to play Puffs AND serves as the defense against the Paper Shortage attack.
Jokers — Permanent Immunity
Each joker grants permanent immunity against one attack type. Only one copy of each joker exists in the deck. The Unleafable is especially powerful: your Rolling Paper can never be removed again.
When You're Blocked
If you're blocked and don't have the right defense, you can discard up to 3 cards and draw the same number (your turn ends there). You can also play an Attack on another player even while blocked.
Example Game
Here are a few turns from a 4-player game to understand the gameplay:
Turn 1 — Alice
Alice draws 1 card. She has a Rolling Paper — she places it in front of her. Alice can now play Puffs.
Turn 2 — Bob
Bob draws 1 card. No Rolling Paper in hand. He discards a useless card and waits.
Turn 3 — Charlie
Charlie draws and places his Rolling Paper. He plays a standard turn.
Turn 5 — Alice
Alice draws and plays a 100 Puffs card. Score: 100 points.
Turn 7 — Charlie attacks!
Charlie plays Paper Shortage on Alice. Her Rolling Paper is removed — she can't score until she places a new one.
Turn 9 — Alice bounces back
Alice draws a Rolling Paper and places it. She's back in the race!
Turn 14 — Bob fights back
Bob is blocked by a Police Check. He plays Corruption to unblock. His Rolling Paper is still there — he can score next turn.
How to Win
The first player to reach or exceed 1000 points wins immediately. When the draw pile is empty, shuffle the discard pile to form a new draw pile.
Expert Mode / Challenges
Once you've mastered the basic rules, take on these challenges to spice up your games:
Speed Challenge
Timed game: 10 minutes maximum. The player with the most points wins.
Strategy Challenge
No more than 2 consecutive Puff cards allowed. Force yourself to vary your strategies.
Expert Challenge
Goal raised to 1500 points. Games are longer and more strategic.
Team Challenge

Strategic Tips
Place your Rolling Paper ASAP — without it, you can't do anything
Always keep 1-2 Defense cards in reserve for emergencies
Timing is key: attack when your opponent is close to winning
Don't waste jokers early, save them for decisive moments
Paper Shortage is the nastiest attack — watch your Rolling Papers
When blocked, use the discard/draw mechanic to dig for your solution
