PLAYED FOR YOU

Social Network

GalLery or Contest

You start with five cards, the remaining 18 are draw pile. All play simultaneously, always one card after the other, from hand, and you can draw cards up to five in hand as soon as you hold less than five. Cards you cannot use at the moment can be placed underneath the draw pile and you can draw new cards accordingly.

A Gallery card is played into your own profile and you announce it; Like is played onto an active Gallery in another player's profile, this is possible while he is not playing another card to the profile.

Contest you play into your profile; if you play Contest you pose a task of your choice - for instance, "run around the table once"; the first one to implement the task correctly and you as task setter can put one card from hand or draw pile into the profile. Quiz is placed into your profile too, and you call "stop" - nobody can play a card now  and after calling stop you make a statement on yourself, for instance "My favorite color is yellow", and put the corresponding voting card face-down. Then all others vote: When all have voted correctly, they all can shed a card from hand or draw pile to their profile; if only some voted correctly, those players and you shed a card; if nobody voted correctly, you alone shed a card to your profile.

If someone is out of card you score one point for each card in your profile and lose 1 point for each card in the draw pile or in hand; after three rounds you win with most points.
