Spoons

1972 · Card Game

Spoons

Players receive four hidden cards drawn from a pooled set of four-of-a-kinds and sit around a table with one fewer spoons than players. On a signal, each player selects one card from their hand, passes it face-down to the right, and picks up the card passed from the left, continuing this clockwise exchange until someone holds four of a kind. When a player completes four of a kind they immediately take a spoon; other players who notice may also grab one. The player left without a spoon receives a penalty mark. Play repeats with the penalty system until all but one player have accumulated three marks and are eliminated. Social penalties apply for certain interactions after a player is eliminated.
