Shrimp

Seven shrimps on three cards are a Shrimp Cocktail

81 cards with shrimp showing four criteria are distributed evenly: The four Criteria are: color - green, purple, orange; size - small, medium, large; number - one, two or three, or origin - Japan, USA or France. In your turn you reveal the top card from your stack and put it on one of the three dishes. When the top cards on all three dishes show one or more joint criteria you squeeze the mayonnaise glass as quickly as you can, so that it squeaks. If the cards have one common criterion, you have “A Meal” and name the criterion, e.g. “green shrimp”. A better dish is achieved with a “Shrimp Cocktail”, but this needs exactly seven shrimp of any color: you call out “Shrimp Cocktail” and get all cards on the three dishes, as you also do when announcing a meal. If you spot the Super Shrimp Dish you must name two criteria that are identical on all three cards, and name them. This is rewarded with all cards from the dishes and you also steal a total of seven cards from one or several players. Of you make a mistake you must give up one of your collected cards; if you do not have one you give away a card from your stack to any player. When a player is out of cards in his stack you win with most cards collected. But should the “legendary and so awesome meal of the century” happen, that is, three criteria are the same on the three top cards, you instantly win the game if you squeeze the mayonnaise glass first and name the criteria correctly.

Shrimp is a new “Game in a Sack”, a fast funny family game training reaction and observation while providing a lot of fun, a marvelous summer game!
