Goal of the game

To win the maximum number of cards at the end of the game.

Set up

Take one deck of cards and set the rest aside.
Shuffle the cards and cut the deck into 2 equal piles.
Form 2 piles, face down, with the 2 piles leaving a space between the 2 piles for a 3rd.
Set the die aside.

How to play?

The player who has shuffled the cards plays first.
He draws a card from the pile of his choice.
When a card is drawn, it must face the other players.
The drawn card is placed face up in front of the player; this is the playing pile.
In turn, each player draws a card from the deck of their choice.
Each card drawn must be placed on top of the previous one.

The face to face

Each card has a symbol and a theme.
As soon as two cards have the same symbol, they are face to face.
The players involved in the face-off must face each other.
Each player will try to give an example related to the theme of his opponent.
Example:
– Player 1 has the theme “famous musician”.
– Player 2 has the theme “horror movie”.
– Player 1 must give an example of a horror movie, while Player 2 must give an example of a famous musician.
The first player to give a correct answer wins the face-off as well as the opponent’s card.
Be careful! An answer already given during the game cannot be used.
In case of uncertainty, the group decides whether an answer is acceptable or not.
Each card won is placed face down next to the player to form their pile of won cards.

The Duel cards

There are 4 Duel cards in each deck.
When a Duel card is drawn, it is placed between the 2 decks.
The die is rolled and placed on the Duel card without changing its face.
The symbols on the dice are the same as on the cards.
The face obtained indicates the two symbols in a duel.
The players concerned are in a face-off position.
As long as a new Duel card is not drawn, the duel symbols defined by the dice remain active.
After a face-off, the player who drew the Duel card draws a new card.

In case of a tie

When 2 players face each other and give their answer at the same time, the first one to articulate wins.
When both players have spoken at the same time, a third player draws a new card.
If it is a Duel card, it is put back under the deck and a new draw takes place.
The two players face each other and must give an example related to the theme of the new card drawn.
The first player to give a correct answer wins the duel and keeps his opponent’s card.
The card that has been played returns to one of the 2 drawers.

End of the game

When the 2 piles are exhausted, the game ends.
The player who has accumulated the most cards is declared the winner.
