PLAYED FOR YOU

Card ‚n‘ Go

Used in school and can be recycled

Similar to the game Soqquadro you race across the house and search for items named on cards – but it is up to each player to interpret the cards. Something sweet could be chocolate or your beloved old teddy bear from childhood days. There are task cards in three colors, and also special cards and joker cards that can be used for any of the three colors. The special cards give additional tasks that must combined with the normal task card.

All cards are shuffled together and for a round you turn up one card less than there are players in the game. Special cards that appear are set aside, they do not count towards the necessary number of cards, but are read out after cards are turned up and need to be combined with the task card so that you can claim a card, for instance “something sweet” with “from the kitchen”. When the cards are revealed all race off and try to find something that corresponds to one of the cards. Whoever is back first with something suitable for a card, claims the card – if someone arrives later with another item for a card already taken, he is out of luck and must find something suitable for another card.

A player can only claim one card in any round and a round ends when all cards have been claimed/taken. As there is one card less than there are players, there will always be one player who does not get a card in any given round. The winner of the game is whoever has won three cards of the same color or one card in each of the colors.

A known mechanism has been varied and introduces action into the game; it is probably necessary to agree on limits about what can be taken or where players can search.
