Lucky Lachs

Fist touches fist

A pouch shaped like a fish, containing 72 cards! A tiny rules excerpt is attached to the fin, and a tiny rulebook in the pouch tells us:

There are 12 action cards per person, you need a place to discard cards to, for instance a table, and there should be lots of room to play; this is all we need to play Lucky Lachs aka Happy Salmon.

You shuffle your stack of action cards, hold the stack face-down in one hand and then, on a signal, turn it over to the picture side and all call out the action of the top card; each of the cards shows one of four action options: High 5 - touch your open hand to that of your partner; Checker Faust - push your fist lightly against that of your partner; Tausch Rausch - you swap places with your partner; Lucky Lachs - slap the forearm of your partner lightly several times. if you spot a second player with the same action, you implement it with him and then both of you discard your cards. If there is nobody with the same action, you put your card at the bottom of your stack. When there are more than two players with the same action, two and then two more players, if applicable, can implement the action; any surplus player must find a partner later. If you are out of cards first, you win.

In the „Stumm wie ein Fisch - Silent fish“, not surprisingly, speaking and calling is forbidden, you announce your top action with hand signs - hold up your hand, stick out your fist, draw circles in the air with your forefinger or flap your hand like a fish fin. Only if you are rid of all cards, you can call out „Lucky Lachs“.

Loud, funny, hectic and chaotic, simply fun! An ideal game outdoors game.
