As players lay the coasters face down one at a time, a player can announce that they can flip over a certain number of flowers without flipping a skull.
Players can outbid one another, but the person who wins the bid must first flip over the coasters in front of them. If he or she flips a skull, they must discard a coaster randomly. A player must sucessfully flip all flowers twice to win the game. A game can last anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes.
