emoji Twist

how many unicorns?

The little symbols for moods and emotions are manifold, not always easily distinguished at first glance and there are many of them. Emoji Twist plays with this small variation and the multitude of icons, albeit in a very special way.

21 emoji cards show a colorful multitude of many emoji icons on the front side and are placed into the box, front side up; 11 number cards of values 5 to 15 are arranged openly around the box.

One player turns the spinner, another one draws the bottom card from the stack and displays it, front side up, so that all can see it easily. The arrow of the spinner determines the emoji icon of the round, there are eight different icons on the spinner and on the cards. All players now count as quickly as they can how often this emoji icon is visible on the card and grab the number card for the result they arrived at. When all players have taken a card - you might have to take an unwanted one - the emoji card is turned over - the back side shows the correct number for all emoji icons depicted in front. If you hold the correct number card, you win the round and the emoji card. If nobody has the correct number card, the emoji card goes out of play. When two players simultaneously grab the same number card, you use the spinner to determine another emoji icon. When all cards have been given out, you win with most cards.

Of course it is simple, but not as simple as it sounds, because the emoji icons are mostly small, and it is easy to overlock a unicorn in the chaos, especially as the icons can be of different orientation and sometimes distorted or crowded into small areas. Great good family fun!
