From BoardGameGeek

Welcome to the historic center of Kuala Lumpur! Step into the shoes of those who make the city's kaki lima (five-foot ways) come alive with 'sticky' activities like food stalls, potted plants, street buskers, and shoe cobblers. These activities increase the 'stickiness' and vibrancy of a place by enticing pedestrians to stay and linger in the kaki lima. Game Objective: Score the most Vibrancy Points (VPs) by taking different actions to win the game. Ways to Score VPs: WALK onto Kaki Lima with other Pedestrians CREATE a Sticky Activity on a Kaki Lima ENJOY Sticky Activities on a Kaki Lima APPRECIATE a Pattern of Jom! Tiles & Sticky Activites At game end, ADD UP the Sticky Time of all Kaki Lima that your Jom! Tiles & Pedestrian are on Game Flow: Players take turns in clockwise order to roll 3 Dice for an x-number of rounds, x depending on number of players. Players use the Dice to take Actions. After marking down VPs gained on a turn, the 3 Dice gets passed to the next player. Replenish the line of Sticky Activities at the end of each turn. Total up VPs scored at the end of the game. Turn Flow: Roll 3 Dice and choose 2.* Take 2 Actions with the 2 Dice. Other players take 1 Action with the remaining Die. Use any unlocked Bonus Abilities alongside Rolls & Actions. Mark down VPs gained into the Scoreboard. Use all 3 Dice on a triple roll!(Only you take actions this turn) Game End & Scoring: Total up all the VPs you have gained. The player with the highest VPs wins the game! Tie-breaker: the most Jom! Tiles on the Kaki Lima grid. If still tied, players share the victory! -description from the designer
