Game: Spoons
Number of Players: 4 or more
Things Needed to Play:
Deck of Cards
Spoons (1 less than the number of players)
How to Play:
Shuffle a deck of cards and hand them out to each player.
Players take turns clockwise.
On their turn, a player must do the following in order:
Play a Card: Each player will draw a card from the deck and then discard an unwanted card to the player on their left.
Match Cards: The aim is to collect four cards of the same number. When a player achieves this, they may pick up a spoon.
Once a player picks up a spoon, all other players must race to grab the remaining spoons from the center.
The player who fails to grab a spoon is out of the game.
A Little History:
This is a game we’d play together as a family that always was incredibly fun for me. The ten of us would get together around the table and wait for the matching 4 cards that would allow us to pick up a spoon. It was then a race to see who could then grab the rest from there.
