Cloud Mine
images in clouds
Clouds in the sky forming images, that you should describe and guess, with the aim to collect most cloud cards. During the game, players take up varying roles - one player is the daydreamer, on player is the Lookout, and all other players are Spectators of the current round.
The Lookout of the round holds a hand of 4-8 Cloud cards, depending on the number of players, selects one of them and puts them at the bottom of the stack of his hand cards. Then the Daydreamer takes the stack, turns it over and looks at the bottom card. He thinks up a description of the depicted cloud, comprising maximum five words, and announces the description.
Then the selected card is shuffled with the other cards and all cards in the stack are displayed openly. The Spectators - all other players - in turn give a guess on one of the cards. If the guess is wrong, the card is turned over. If the active spectator guessed correctly, he wins the card and all other, remaining open cards. The Daydreamer takes all face-down cards. If nobody guesses correctly, the Lookout takes all cards, regardless if open or face-down. When there are not enough cards left in the draw pile for a new round, you win with most cards.
A very pretty game needing imagination and creativity with words, and providing a dilemma for the Daydreamer - he needs a lot of wrongly guessed cards, but one correct guess to win cards at all. The Lookout has not much of a chance to actively acquire cards, he can only hope that the Daydreamer makes it too difficult for the Spectators.
