Spoons
Level of Play : 1 (if beer is used), 5 (if shots are used)
3-8 Players
1 Deck (for 3-5 players) 2 Decks for 6+ Players, Spoons (You must have 1
spoon for each player, minus one)
This game is similar to musical chairs, in that there are 1 less spoon than
there are players.
There are two objects in the game. First, you must try to get four of a kind.
Second, if you do not get four of a kind before somebody else, the object
is to grab one of the remaining spoons.
To start : Deal 7 cards to Each player. Set spoons in middle of table in
a star configuration.
The dealer starts by picking the top card off the deck. He then passes a
card to the person next to him. That player picks it up and passes a card
to the person next to him, and so on. This game is not orderly and neat.....
It is fast and furious. All players go as fast as they can. There are no
actual "turns".
This goes on until somebody get 4 of a kind. When you get four of a kind,
grab a spoon. All the other players try to get one of the remaining spoons.
The person that does not get a spoon, must do a shot (or take a drink of
beer, for lightweights).
Important : The person that has four of a kind must have no must have no
more than 7 cards in his hand. If they have more than 7 cards in their hand,
this is considered cheating, and THEY must do a shot. However, because of
the fast pace of the game, it is legal to have more than 7 cards in your
hand at time during the game, but you must have a legal hand when you grab
a spoon.
Optional : The person with four of a kind may make a rule. (only if they
didn't fuck up and have more than 7 cards in their hand.)
