Description
In Mimiq Smešni obrazi you collect cards using facial expressions. Each card shows a grimace, for example pulling your ears with one eye closed. When you want a card, you have to act it out. Whoever doesn't have it sticks their tongue out at you instead of answering. The game is simple, yet everyone at the table laughs: those making the faces and those watching them.
How to play Mimiq Smešni obrazi
Each player gets three cards, and the rest form a face-down draw pile. The youngest player starts. On your turn, you choose another player and ask them for a card like one you already hold: you say “Please, do you have …” and make the grimace from that card. If they have it, they must give you all such cards, and you may keep asking. If they don't, they stick their tongue out. You then take one card from the pile and your turn is over.
When you collect three matching cards, you place them in front of you. The game ends when all the sets of three have been collected. The player with the most cards in front of them wins.
Why you'll love it
- Every request for a card is a little performance: you have to show the grimace, not just say it.
- Whoever doesn't have the right card sticks their tongue out at you. In this game, that's actually a rule.
- As long as the other players have the cards you need, you keep asking, and you can collect several sets of three in a single turn.
- Because you have to ask for a card you already hold, every request gives away what you're collecting. Whoever remembers it knows whom to ask.
