more fun and challenging.)

The dealer deals out 4 cards to each player. Each player looks at their hand and decides to try for a particular set. Each player then chooses one card to discard and places it face down in front of them and passes it to the player to their left. Each player looks at their new card and chooses another card to discard. The game continues in this way, until one player has a set of four cards of the same value. Once a player has four of a kind, he quietly places his cards down face up in front of him and picks up a spoon from the center of the table. As soon as a player has done this, the other players must reach for a spoon as well, whether or not they have 4 of a kind. The player who does not have a spoon is out of the game.

One spoon is then removed from the center of the table so that there is one less spoon then players once again.

The players who are still in the game are not allowed to speak to the player who is out of the game. If they do, then they are automatically out as well.

Winning: In the last round of the game, there is one spoon left to grab, the player who grabs the spoon first wins!

Variations: For a longer game play, players can play with a complete deck of cards instead of pulling out equal number of sets to the number of players.

The dealer deals out four cards to each player

Donkey: Play is the same in Donkey, except that when a player fails to pick up a spoon they are penalized with a letter, and a new round begins with all players. The first player to be given all the letters in the word ‘donkey’ loses the game and must “hee-haw.”

Pig: This is the same game as Donkey, but shorter.

Ages: 4+

Set-up:The dealer deals out all cards to the players. Some players will have more cards than others. Players do not look at their cards, but leave them in a pile in front of them.

Play: Players turn over the top card from their draw pile and lay it face up in the center. The player who lays down the highest value card wins the hand and collects the rest of cards from the center area.

Declaring War: If there is a tie between players for the highest value card, than those players who tied must declare war. All players who have tied say “I declare war!” laying down four cards as they say this. The first three cards should be laid down face down, with the fourth card turned face up. The player with the highest value card turned face up wins all cards in the center area.

Winning: The player who collects all of the cards, wins the game!
