PLAYED FOR YOU

Da Tonni

Discard A Mouse and turn bin wall!

Three garbage bins and one broom each are fixed to both sides of a wall; you face three bins and a broom. 54 cards showing different kinds of cat food - tins, fish, meat, milk and mouse - are shuffled and dealt evenly to both players. Each player has only bins for three of these categories. You hold your cards in one hand and sort the current top card into the correct bin. Cards that do not fit into any of the bins or special cards that you do not want to play at that instant, go to the back of the deck. You can never play cards out of order, unwanted cards must be put to the bottom of the stack one by one! Special cards can be played whenever they appear: “Spin the bins” results in turning the wall, each player now is confronted with his opponent’s bins. “Broom” = “Straying Cat” demands hitting the broom and thus ejecting cards from the opponent’s bin. He must pick them up and stack them at the back of his deck. “Magnifying glass” also results in turning of the wall; you check your opponent’s bins. If a card has been sorted into the wrong bin, he must take back the stack in that bin. When all bins have been checked, the wall is turned back and the game continues. Special cards that have been played are given to the opponent who puts them at the bottom of his deck. If a player has shed all his cards but the special cards into the bins, he calls out “Mealtime” and wins, if all cards have been sorted correctly.

An attractive game, also with the new topic, demanding quick reaction and clever hand management, special cards need to be cleverly played as you can only shed cards by using bins on both sides of the wall.
