While collecting up the chips of the Sumikko characters, players speak to each other using prompts written on the “Oshaberi Cards” such as “all times and places” or “Themed Shiritori (word-chain game)”. However, if a player speaks out what’s written on a “Doki Doki Card”, they’re out. Also, when a player pulls the “Crane Arm” chip, the player has to hide their Sumikko chips in their hand to prevent them from being taken away, and then each player following after must do the same.
