## Description
Hey everyone! Ready to step behind the bar at the hottest lounge in town? In "On The Rocks", you become an elite mixologist competing to craft the most sought-after cocktails. Each round, you'll select 3 to 4 recipes to prepare, but watch out: your rivals are fierce and might just mess with your ingredients! The game kicks off with dice rolls to draft ingredient marbles from the shaker bag – think of it as a cool, tactile lottery! You'll then strategically place these marbles in your jiggers, deciding how far to "push your luck" to grab the right components. There's also a dash of "take that" as rival bartenders aren't afraid to spill your ingredients! Your goal is to collect the correct marbles for each cocktail recipe to earn cash and tips. The first player to complete all their orders shouts "Last Call!", and then it's time to tally up the earnings. Don't worry, it's not an actual drinking game, but it might just make you crave a cool beverage! It's a fun and strategic race to see who masters the art of mixing ingredients and rakes in the most money. Perfect for those who enjoy dice rolling, open drafting, and a bit of friendly (or not-so-friendly!) competition.
