Valid your combo of dice in putting them down on the spirit world of your player board to increase your score

As a Loa, you have also special power. At the beginning or the end of your turn, you can apply it for free or pay one skull to apply the power of anther player!
During the game, depending the quantity of "special white game" you will catch, you can also become the "Baron Samedi" and use all power for free.
