Each player has a parking meter which must be fed time. This time can be used on errands, which earn the player points. The first player to achieve 200 points is declared the winner.

However, if a player has no time left on the meter and another player uses a ‘Warden Jones’ card against them then they receive a penalty and must return one completed errand card back to the pile – loosing its points value. A ‘Warden Jones’ card can be cancelled by a ‘Talk Your Way Out Of It’ card.

During each turn, a player can optionally draw a ‘Second Chance’ card – these can be good or bad, but must be played immediately.
