The chairs and the cards

Games indoor | Games outdoor

Players up to 50

For everyone

Duration 20-30 minutes

Equipment

A chair for each player, a deck of playing cards, a marker.

Description

We arrange ourselves in a circle. Each player is seated in a chair. Each player is assigned a suit of playing cards (hearts, clubs, spades, diamonds) that is drawn on his or her hand. It is then decided whether the players should move to the right or left (e.g., left).

The animator shuffles a deck of playing cards and draws the first one (for example, a 7 of hearts). Everyone who has drawn the suit of the drawn card (hearts) on their hand moves to the chair to their left. If it is vacant, no problem; if it is already occupied by another player, one sits on the occupant's lap, with no limit on the number.

The game continues, with one rule: a person can move only if he or she has no one sitting on top of him or her.

Game option: do not remove the wild cards, and when one is drawn, all players who can move, do so.

Who win?

The player who is first returns to the chair from which he started (even if it is already occupied by other players).
