Uuups

T in Thermometer wihout uuups!

30 out of 60 word cards and 30 Oops cards stacked face down. Then you turn up 2 or 3 word cards to reach a total of 10 or more letters on the cards. All look at the words and then the starting player beats out the rhythm and players join the beat and call out the letters of the alphabet in consecutive order, each player one letter. When doing so letters that appear just once on the cards must be replaced with oops. If you make a mistake you receive an oops card, place if face up on the table and all players must now take into account the letter on this card, too. The starting player changes and the listing of letters starts again at A. The 3^rd oops card given out or reaching the letter Z without a mistake ends the round. When the last oops card has been given out or when there are not enough word cards for a new round you win with the fewest oops cards.

By using only 24 word cards and 24 oops cards or by restricting the number of letters on the card(s) you can change the level of difficulty, as well as by decreeing at a letter appearing on a card is always replaced by oops, regardless of how often it appears. If you want a more difficult game you can play the Schwupps variant, where you have to replace letters that appear on the cards more than once by Schwupps, and for an even more difficult game you can change the direction of play for a Schwupps.

Schwupps and oops, or oops only, challenging and funny despite giving the impression that the alphabet must be very difficult! But still, “A B oops D oops oh not oops after all” in case of Chile on a card and you should have said F, is fun, isn’t it?
