Hi Marius, Thanks for offering to playtest! : ) For the rules, you can find them in the application specifications ( http://community.hackit.cx/wiki/Facebook_card_game_-_Specifications ), but I think it will be easier if I explain a bit here, so you don't have to go through all the document to get it. : ) Basically, the game goes through the following phases: 1. Print out the cards, and cut them : ) 2. Shuffle the deck, and distribute 7 of them to each player (with the current deck it only give cards to 3 players - however the game is more fun with 4-6 players, so you may want to watch when Deborah sends more, normally on Tuesday at most) 3. One of the players will play as the "author". Hidden from the other players, he choses a card, and says a sentence or a word about it out loud. The trick is to make it hard enough so that it's not obvious which card he has chosen, but not so hard as to make it impossible to guess (you'll get the trick while you play) 4. The other players look at their own cards, and secretly chose the card that is the closest to the sentence/word the player has said. 5. The selected cards (including the one from the author) are shuffled, and then shown to all players, face up on the table. 6. Each player, except the author, has now to guess which card was the one originally picked by the author. The best is to give a small paper to each player, attribute a number to each of the cards, and then each player notes the one he thinks is the one from the author. 7. Guesses are revealed. If everyone or no one of the players guessed right, the players win. Otherwise, the author and the players who guessed right win. 8. Start over in 1. At the end, the person who has won the most times win the whole game. Let me know if you have any question about this! And looking forward to the comments from you (and your friends!) will have. Don't hesitate to be picky and to take notes, everything can be useful. : ) Xavier. _______________________________________________ Hackit Bar mailing list - [email protected] Wiki: http://community.hackit.cx/ List: http://community.hackit.cx/ml/ Forum: http://community.hackit.cx/forum/ Ideas: http://community.hackit.cx/ideas/ IRC: irc://irc.freenode.net/#politis
