Blink

Day 9 - Blink
Designed by Reinhard Staupe


If you blink, you might just miss this game. This is a very fast 2 player card game and it is awesome. Each player gets half the deck and lays out one card for a playing pile. Each player draws three cards from their deck, the 2 playing pile cards are flipped over, and the game begins! Players try and get rid of their cards before their opponent. You do this by matching cards in your hand to the top card of either playing pile. The cards are a match if you can match the shape, number, or color. Simple as that! It's like the game Set  meets the card game Speed. The Wife and I played best 2 out of 3 and The Wife won in game three. Love this game. Our game is in a nice tin, and you can fit it in your pocket and play anywhere (that isn't windy) and play in anytime (seeing the game lasts less than a minute). This indeed may be "The World's Fastest Game!" as advertised. And after reading this blog post, I might just be able to say that "I made you blink!" and that is How Lou Sees It.
