Full publisher description

In La Cuenta ( The Bill ) you go tapas bar hopping with your little group. At each bar someone will have to pay the bill - try not to be you! Inevitably, someone will run out of money. When that happens, whoever has the most money left wins. Each bar you visit is represented by a round, and each round consists of an indeterminate number of turns (orders you place in the kitchen). In each turn, the player in turn must play 1 card from their hand. If you cannot play 1 card in your turn, you must ask for the bill. Whoever has paid the bill starts the next round. If you start a round and cannot play any cards, discard your entire hand, re-draw your maximum cards and start again. The game is over when someone runs out of savings. Immediately the winner is the one with the most savings. In case of a tie, whoever has the most actual money on them wins. description from the publisher
