Silhouette

Das Kartenspiel

In analogy to the basic Silhouette game, you need to combine two silhouettes to a two-part noun. This time, the silhouettes are presented on cards, in a double image. For 3-8 players, you deal 10-6 cards per player, the rest is stacked and one card is turned over.

All players now quickly try, to find a word using the image on the turned-up card and the image on a card from their hand. There is no limit to your creativity in this game, an umbrella can represent a screen or, since it protects from the sun, it can be a lamp shade if you combine it with the card depicting a lamp. So, you can take a sideways look on objects, what looks like a magnifying glass at first glance can also be interpreted as a frying pan, the casino chips can be coins, and the musical note can be this or used to represent sound, music or be bird song with the card showing a bird. And, of course, the lamp can also be light in the sense of not heavy! All you need to to or be is to be quick, because whoever names a valid and - if necessary - explainable combination, puts his card from hand on top of the card on the table and all players now use this silhouette as part of the next combination.

Of only two or three players engage in a game, each player is dealt eight cards and one card is revealed. Players are active in turn; if you can combine two silhouettes into a word, you can discard the hand card, if not, you draw a card.

In both versions of the game you win, if you are the first player to be rid of all cards.

A handy version of the “big” Silhouette game, plays quickly and is good for any number of players and provides lots of fun!
