this change they are still quite weak.]
+Overflow
+--------
+
+We have overflow tracks, not overflow bowls. They are simply an
+extension of the pot's track. The space "34 14" on the overflow track
+follows the space "33 14 ruby" in the main pot. Disregard (cover up)
+the "35 15" on the provided board.
+
+
+### Buying three chips (etc.)
+
+In the "money" phase (and any other time you are invited to buy
+chips), you may buy *one* additional chip, but to do so you must pay 5
+*extra* money (in addition to the price of the additional chip).
+
+(You may combine this with the "Sale" Fortune Teller card to get the
+another of cheapest chip, for a total of 4 chips.)
+
+
+Alchemists ("diseases")
+-----------------------
+
+Players do not choose their own disease. Instead, choose one disease
+randomly, for all the players.
+
+If your essence value is more than 10, you get the bonus for 10,
+*plus* the bonus for the remainder (max.10). (Notate this by placing
+two counters on the essence track). With **Vampirism**, add the
+buying power together and buy one chip. With essences that are used
+up during play by reducing your essence, you may make up a reduction
+by adding two reductions of your two essence tokens.
+
+### Ear Worm
+
+In the last round, perform the essence bonus, instead of getting VPs
+for your essence.
+
+### Nervousness
+
+In the final round, when drawing is supposed to be secret and
+simultaneous:
+
+Each player with Nervousness chips puts some rubies in their bag.
+When drawing a chip, they may (by feel) choose to draw a ruby instead.
+When the ruby is revealed, it means they are placing one of their
+Nervousness chips.
+
+A player who drew a ruby selects *which* of their Nervousness chips
+they are playing before anyone makes other decisions about how to play
+their chips. If more than one player has more than one Nervousness
+chip to choose from, the applicable players each choose a Nervousness
+chip in turn order.

[Rationale: As above, but also this is a usual 1st/2nd prize rule.]

[Rationale: This chip is hardly ever a good buy at 10.]
+Fortune teller "Neighbour in Need"
+----------------------------------
+
+We do not play with this card. Draw another one instead.
+
+(We think it means that you get to choose between (a) the player on
+your left may remove a garlic and (b) they may take a chip of their
+choice.)

+---------------------------------
+
+We play with this card even if we are not playing with the Herb

CLARIFICATIONS
==============
Any bonus chips you gain after the start of a round are put aside and
go into your bag in the next round. This is equivalent to the
official wording but more generalisable. In particular, it applies to
-the bronze witch "exchange your ... chips".
+the bronze witch "exchange your ... chips". (Chips from Witch's Hump
+go into your bag, as per the official rules.)
You may always use a chip's special power as if it were a chip of a
lower value of the same colour. (That is, for a 4-chip you can choose
But you may not forgo a chip's special power unless it says so (eg, by
saying "may").
+A locoweed is not a "1-chip".
+
+By no means may you acquire a purple or yellow before they are
+available (from the start of rounds 2 and 3).
+
+For the avoidance of doubt: when you return a chip to your bag, any
+special effects that have already occurred does not need to be undone.
+But any ongoing or end-of-round effects (or side-effects) no longer
+happen because the returned chip is no longer in your pot: henceforth
+it is henceforth as if that chip was never placed.
+
+(As a general principle, rules interactions do not involve any hidden
+state that doesn't exist for the rules taken separately.)

+### Yellow III (increased garlic threshold)
+
+If you remove a yellow from your pot (due to some rule or other), and
+this reduces your garlic threshold below your current amount of
+garlic, your pot *does* explode.
Witches
-------
### Silver "Receive the full bonus if exploded"
-
Using this witch does not deprive anyone else of the die roll.
+
+Alchemists ("diseases")
+-----------------------
+
+### Chicken eyes
+
+When upgrading chips, the new ones go into your pot, in the same
+space as the old chips.
+
+When upgrading a 1-chip to a 4-chip, you may upgrade a 2-chip instead.
+
+Fortune teller cards
+--------------------
+
+(Clarifications of interactions with other rules are here, rather than
+filed under the other rule or game feature.)
+
+### Good neighbourhood
+
+You may do this as many times as you like.
+
+### Pot is Full
+
+*Every* die roll is to be rolled twice, not just the one for winning
+the round.
+
+### Rat Infestation
+
+Doubles all rats, no matter where they come from, not just VP track
+rats.
+
+### Sale
+
+This applies only to the normal "money" phase, not any other rules
+which might involve buying chips.
+
+### Second Chance
+
+If you are unlucky enough to draw withink the first 5 chips, a garlic
+that would make you explode, you may put everything back in your bag
+and restart immediately -- before the explosion happens. (Assuming
+you haven't restarted already, obviously.)
+
+Other side effects that occurred in your first 5 chips are not undone.
+
+**Nervousness** (alchemists): if you choose to start again, you put all
+your Nervousness chips back into your bag, and choose a fresh set for
+the restart.
+
+### Small Donation
+
+Applies to this round only (despite the wording which suggests
+otherwise).
