Facecards

Guess Picture pairings

 

Face cards, in this game, are cards depicting not only faces, but also animals or items, there are 142 such face cards in the game.

All the cards are - without the blank cards that are included in the game - stacked face down; you deal seven cards to each player of up to five are playing, or six cards in case of a game with six or seven players; each player takes an album.

Then, each player secretly decides on two cards in his hands of which he believes that the make up a nicely corresponding pair. You lay down one card of your pair in front of you, face-down, and the other card is placed into the middle of the table, of course also also face-down. Then, in a game of up to four players, you add three cards from the stack to the cards in the middle, and only one card for five to seven players. Then, all cards in the middle are shuffled face down and then turned over and arranged in a row. Now all players reveal their cards. The starting player goes first to name a card with a player and then the card in the middle that he thinks is the second card of the pair. You are of course not allowed to select your own cards. If you guessed correctly, both players take one card of the pair for their album. After one guess for each player, the remaining cards are set aside and you add two cards from the stack to your hand. When all have been starting player equally often, you win with most cards. Correct pairings in various categories score a bonus cards. Variants are listed.

Nothing breathtakingly new, but a nice, good and challenging game - can it be, that someone paired the mop brush with the witch?
