Shrimp

How many shrimp for a cocktail?

Shrimps in this game promise a special delight; one lemon and three recipe cards are set out. 81 Shrimp cards are dealt evenly to players who stack them face-down. Those cards show shrimps with four characteristics: Color - green, blue, pink; Size - small, medium, large; Amount - one, two or three, and Origin - America, Brazil or Italy.

In turn, you reveal the top card of your stack and put it on one of the three recipe cards. If the top cards on all three recipe cards have one or several characteristics in common, you quickly squeeze the lemon: In case of one characteristics you cooked a “Shrimp Menu” and name the characteristic, for instance “green shrimp” or “three shrimp”. If you announced “Shrimp Menu” correct, you take all cards on all recipe cards. If you made a mistake, you hand one of your previously collected cards to a player of your choice. When there seven shrimps in total on the cards, all other characteristics are ignored, you squeeze the lemon and say “Shrimp Cocktail”; again you take all cards. If you manage to identify two identical characteristics on all three cards, you have a “Shrimp Feast”, squeeze the lemon, take all cards on the recipes and also seven cards from one or several players of your choice. Should you be lucky enough to spot three identical characteristics on the cards, you have the “Shrimp Dish of the Century” with, for instance, big blue Brazilian shrimp, and win instantly.  

I told you, those shrimps are a delight in the new edition, too, and offer a fun, cute game for clever observers with quick reactions; an ideal filler or holiday game!
