The houses belong to a doctor, a gambler, a hippie, an artist, a lawyer, and a waitress.
On any turn they can also choose to do a favor for someone - this is noted by them placing one of their tokens on that person's house.
On their turn a player may also choose to trade in some of their favors for an item in their hand, playing it down onto the table into their "stuff".
Each item costs a certain number of favors, and there are discounts depending on the house they borrow from and if they are the best friend of its owner.
This means you will need to provide your own playing pieces, tokens and dice (which can usually be borrowed from other games).
