Fifty Fifty

 

High cards earn you grim halves of a face, low cards yield laughing halves. So balance is the aim of the game. You are dealt nine cards, the top “mood card” is turned up. Everybody plays one card. For the highest card you get the number of blue faces stated on the mood card, for the lowest card the number of yellow ones. If you can complete faces from yellow and blue halves you discard them. After nine cards a game ends. You play one game per player. After each game each remaining face half scores -1. If you have no halves at the end of a game you can delete your worst result. At the end you win with the lowest score.
