Rules summary
- General
Players take turns secretly looking at cards and then revealing them, pushing their luck to uncover repeating numbers without making a mistake. Careful memory, intuition, and timing are key, as one slip can give your opponent the advantage. You win by collecting all the hunch tokens or by ending the game at the right moment and scoring the most points.
- Set Up
Shuffle the deck and put the "the end" card at the bottom of the deck. Put the deck in the center, draw and place 8 cards face down around the pile to form a 3x3 grid without looking at them. Then randomly select the first player and the first player gets 3 hunch tokens and the second player get 4 hunch tokens.
Then you are ready to start the game.
- Game Play
Each player take turns looking or/and taking cards until "the end" card is taken and then the other players that is not taking the card will get an extra last turn.
On your turn you can either secretly see a card (only you can see), or reveal cards (the revealed cards will be seen by both players). If you choose to reveal cards, you try to flip them one by one until you fail by flipping a card with numbers never appeared on the previously flipped card or you succeed to match at least 3 identical numbers on cards and you can take those cards as points (1 point per cards). If you find 4 or more identical numbers, you can take a hunch token from your opponent as an extra bonus.
You can shout deja Vu and hooray if you succeed and you can also shout deja Vu if you fail :P
If you choose to look a card secretly or successfully reveal the cards, you have a choice to give your opponent a hunch token to perform an extra turn.
But if your revealing fails, you will pay your opponent a hunch token and your turn will be forced to end and cannot play an extra turn by giving hunch tokens.
- The Deck
The Deck is consisting of 32 cards with 31 numbered cards and the end card. Each numbered card has two numbers(each number are in the range from 0 to 7) on cards front and one number(ranging from 2 to 12) on the card back suggesting the sun of the two numbers.
- End Round and Scoring
When then "the end" card is taken, the other player is granted an extra turn. After that the game ends and the score is calculated.
Your score = 1 point per card (End card included) + 0.5 per hunch token.
