PLAYED FOR YOU

Dweebies

PLAY WITH EGGHEADS

Dweebies are colorful characters with very characteristic hobbies; and they never have more than three hairs on their head! 54 of those colorful guys can be found in the deck of cards which shuffle; then we deal five cards face down to each player, who picks them up for his hands, but should not show them to the other players. The dots on each card tell you how often this individual Dweebie is present in the deck.

You play a card from your hand and put it on the table open faced; either into the middle or next to any card already on the table. If this results in a pair of identical Dweebies at the opposite ends of row of cards you pick up all cards in this row and set them aside. The two Dweebies must be at the opposite ends, all other positions do not constitute a reason to take cards and you also cannot collect diagonal rows, either. When the display is split in two by taking a row you must place cards in a way that the two halves are reconnected as soon as possible. Nobody can take a row while such a split exists, you must first recombine the two parts. At the end of your turn you draw a card, if you forget to do so you can make good for it any time. When all players are out of cards you win with most cards collected.

Dweebies are cute, the rules are simple and if you have a good memory for cards you have an advantage! Because, if you remember that two Dweebie Indians already were used to collect a row you will only elongate a row by placing the third one, probably for another player and so you can save it for closing caps.

Dweebies is an attractive game, good for your holidays or a quick game in-between.
