In all but the last round:
-If everyone is waiting for someone else to decide whether to draw, the

-Ties are broken by the Fortune Teller card turn order.
+If everyone is waiting for someone else to decide whether to draw (or
+place a deferred chip), the person with the emptiest pot chooses (and
+if necessary draws) first. Ties are broken by the Fortune Teller card
+turn order.
[Rationale: the official rule suffers from a perverse incentive.
This rule approximates natural player behaviour, formalising the edge
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.
+Each player with Nervousness chips puts some large draughts stones in
+their bag. When drawing a chip, they may (by feel) choose to draw a
+draughts stone instead. When the stone 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
