The
Card Game FEELINGS - Rules
Copyright
Lieven Van Parys, Free Primary School Sint-Amandus, Meulebeke,
Belgium'
This is a
children's 4-player card game in which the players try to form:
v
a set of 3 cards expressing the SAME FEELING, or a set with 3 special cards
v
a set of 3 cards but with ONE, TWO and THREE small 'hands' at the top of the
card, ( 5 extra points)
v
a set of 3 ‘special’ cards, with ONE, TWO and THREE small 'hands' at the top
of the card ( 5 extra points)
Be
careful! The number of 'hands' on each card is different!)
(a
‘1+2+3’ set of cards with the same feeling or a ‘1+2+3’ set of
‘special’ cards = 5 extra points)
|
1.
The dealer shuffles the cards and deals NINE to each player, ONE at a
time. The rest of the cards remain in the pile face down in the middle
of the table.
2.
The player next to the dealer in clockwise direction starts the card
game. The player throws the dice or spins the spinning top with symbols.
The symbol pointed by the top or the dice determines the feeling the
players use to form a set of 3 cards.
3.
If the player has no cards to form a chosen set, he/she takes 1 or 2 top
cards from the pile but then he/she has to place the same number of
his/her cards, he doesn’t need face down to the bottom of the pile.
4.
The player may then use, keep or swap 1 or 2 other cards with a player
next to him/her depending what is needed to form a correct set. The
faces of the cards down.
5.
The player can also simply wait for another turn and new 'feeling' and
does nothing...
|
6.
If a player has *a 'special' card he/she can swap it with the
player next to him/her with a specific card he/she needs to form a set.
(For example the player asks for: ’happy’ or 'happy with 2 hands',
‘cool’ or 'cool with 1 hand', …) If the desired card is not
available, he/she can still swap 1 or 2 other cards in the usual way.
7.
Then everybody, who has a set of 3 cards with the chosen feeling with
correct number of 'hands', puts their sets of cards on the table. Cards
'face up'!
8.
A set of three 'special' cards can always be played!
9.
The game goes on. The next player throws the dice… or turns the
spinning top…
10.
*When the dice or the spinning top points at 'the red hand' symbol, then
any kind of sets of feelings can be collected. But in this case only ONE
set of cards can be put on the table.

v
The game ends when one of the players has no cards left which brings
him/her 5 extra points.
v
After that the points are counted out using the below table. Each 'hand'
on the card has a certain value depending on where the card is at the
end of the game.
Count
the number of small 'hands' and calculate the points of each player!
