Players pick and discard cards quickly around the table until one player has collected a four of a kind, and takes a spoon from the center. To play Spoons, you need one deck of cards and enough spoons for each player, less one, similar to musical chairs, which are placed in the center of the table in reach of all players. Use an old table and know when to jump out of the way! I will caution however, that some players get very competitive and the game can get rowdy.
It’s easily teachable, and works well for most ages. This card game is a favorite in our household by both kids and adults. Most games only require one deck of cards. Got a group of friends or family coming over and you don’t know what to play? I’ve found 5 card games that play up to 12 people.
