PLAYED FOR YOU

Stink-Alarm!

Qucik! Fish to my neighbor!

You draw Stench cards which you want to shed as quickly as possible without having to take Stench Chips, because if you are first to receive five of those Stench Chips, you lose the game. 12 circular Stench Image Cards show stinky objects, and there are five Stench cards for each of those objects. Those 60 Stench cards are heaped in the middle of the table, face-down, showing the fly image. The Stench Image Cards are distributed evenly among all players; in case of five players two cards are left over and are taken out of play together with the ten corresponding Stench Cards.

The timer is started and in turn you take a random Stench card, turn it over and put it on the corresponding Stench Object Card; if this Object card is laid out in front of yourself, you have another turn; if the Object card is laid out in front of another player, the turn passes to this player. The run-time of the timer is chance-driven; when it runs out and you hear the final sound, the currently active player takes a Stench Chip.

For the next round each player hands on one of his Stench Image Cards to his left neighbor. If you received the Stench Chip you start the timer again and turn over the first card. Stench Alarm! Fun Alarm! The game features simplest rules, plays quickly and there is even a bit of tactic, albeit with a bit of risk - you can try to delay the first turns a bit, and if necessary you can drop this tactic for the following rounds. The game is definitely an ideal family game, just small enough to fit into a suitcase for holidays, it is language-independent and if necessary you can explain it with a demo round!
