RULES
THE FLOW - PICK UP, PUT DOWN
- Each player is given FOUR cards.
- The rest of the cards go to the dealer’s pile.
- The dealer starts and each player has TWO main actions:
- Draw ONE card from your pile.
- Discard ONE of the five cards and pass it along to the next opponent.
- You must have FOUR cards at all times.
THE OBJECTIVE - COLLECT A SPOON
- There is always ONE LESS spoon than the amount of players.
- There are only TWO opportunities to collect a spoon:
- You have a 4-of-a-kind in your hand.
- Another player has already collected a spoon.
- Once all spoons are collected, if you are remaining without a spoon, you are ELIMINATED.
A COVID-19 PROJECT
MOTIVATION
Early development of Spoons started in Aug 2021. Due to COVID-19, Spoons was built for the following reasons:
- Looking for a new game to play with my family during our weekly Saturday night games on Zoom.
- The rise of lobby type games like Among Us, Gartic Phone, etc.
EARLY DEVELOPMENT (2021-2023)
- Early development saw many successes and failures.
- Due to the architecture constraints, the project lacked the proper handling of players collecting a spoon at the same time, disconnections and reconnections of players, visual bugs, etc.
- The project was paused early 2023 due to other commitments.
