Description
The Black Peter Card Game brings you the classic card game that has made whole families laugh for decades. It contains 35 cards with colourful animals, and among them hides one special card – the mischievous Black Peter. The rules are so simple that the game is a great first step into the world of card games.
How to play Black Peter
Deal the cards among the players. Anyone who already holds two identical animals at the start puts the pair down on the table right away. Then, going clockwise, you blindly draw one card from each other. If the card you draw makes a pair, you put it down.
There are fewer and fewer pairs, while one card keeps circulating without a match. The game ends when all the animals have been put down. Whoever is left with Black Peter in hand loses.
Why you will like it
- You can explain the rules in a minute, so even the youngest can play.
- Tension until the very last card: nobody knows who will end up with Black Peter.
- A game lasts only a few minutes, so another one quickly follows.
- While playing, children look for pairs of animals and practise their observation skills.
Who is Black Peter for
The game is for two to six players aged 4 and up, and a game lasts 5 to 7 minutes. Players like it best with four. It is a simple game, suitable for families and for children who are just getting to know card games.
What you might not like
Because you draw the cards blindly, the outcome is decided mostly by luck, so the game may not be the best fit for those who prefer games with more decisions.
