GAME TYPE - Elimination game.
WHO'S IT FOR - Group Three. This should ideally be played with a group of no more than seven or eight.
WHAT YOU NEED - A full deck of playing cards and one spoon for each player, minus one.
HOW TO PLAY:
- Have all players sit in a circle with spoons in the middle. There should be enough spoons in the middle so every player except one can grab a spoon.
- Have one player shuffle and deal the cards (help if you need to). Four cards get dealt to each player. All extra cards are placed in front of the dealer.
- The object is to make four of a kind in your hand. This means you want to have all four 3s or all four Kings, etc.
- On the word "GO", the dealer takes a card from the extra card deck. The dealer must then discard one card and pass it to the player on his/her left. While the next player decides if he/she wants to use that card, the dealer draws another one.
- Play continues like this, with each player discarding and passing. You may only have four cards in your hand at a time, and you may only pick up one card at a time.
- When the last player discards, instead of passing the card to the dealer, they make a discard pile. Should you run out of cards without someone getting four of a kind, the dealer may shuffle those cards and use them as a new deck.
- When someone makes four of a kind in their hand, they must grab a spoon. However, they want to do this in such a way that no one else notices.
- If anyone notices that a spoon has been taken, they can grab a spoon as well, even if they don't have four of a kind in their hand.
- Whoever does not get a spoon in the round is out.
- Remove a spoon and play again.
- Keep playing until only one remains. They are the winner.
Sneakiness is encouraged when grabbing a spoon. When someone does notice, it usually turns chaotic quickly.
THIS WORKS ON - Observational skills (knowing when someone takes a spoon), matching (making four of a kind), competition (playing a game with peers)
