Object of the Game

Win the most points by correctly guessing the other players' favorite things.

Setup

1. In Whoonu, you'll use tokens to keep score. Look below to see how many tokens you'll need:
   • 3 players: Use tokens 1 to 4, in stacks of 3.
   • 4 players: Use tokens 1 to 6, in stacks of 4.
   • 5 players: Use tokens 1 to 4, in stacks of 5.
   • 6 players: Use tokens 1 to 5, in stacks of 6.
2. Give the Whoonu envelope to the player whose birthday is coming up next. This player is the first Whoozit.
3. Give everyone except the Whoozit four cards and put the remaining cards face down in a pile. You can look at your cards, but don't show them to anyone else.

How to Play a Round

1. In each round you'll guess the Whoozit's favorite things. Pick what you think the Whoozit likes best from the four cards in your hand. Be sure to keep the rest of your cards a secret—you'll be passing them along in the next round. Look below to see how many cards to put in the Whoonu envelope:
   • 3 or 4 players: Each player puts two cards in the Whoonu envelope.
   • 5 or 6 players: Each player puts one card in the Whoonu envelope.
2. The Whoozit takes the cards out of the Whoonu envelope and secretly puts them in order from the Whoozit's least favorite to most favorite.
3. The Whoozit places one card, face down, next to each stack of tokens. The least favorite thing is worth one point, so it goes next to the 1 token.

How to Score

1. Score points as you find out what the Whoozit likes best. The Whoozit reveals the least favorite thing first, reading it aloud. The player who chose this card takes the 1 token and gets one point.
2. The Whoozit continues turning over cards until all of them are revealed and one token from each stack is awarded.

Getting Ready for the Next Round

1. It's time for a new Whoozit. Pass your cards to the player on your left. The player with no cards takes the Whoonu envelope and becomes the new Whoozit.
2. Put the revealed cards in a discard pile.
3. Everyone except the Whoozit draws more cards for a total of four cards in each hand.
4. Play until everyone has been the Whoozit and all the tokens are awarded.

How to Win

After everyone's had a chance to be the Whoozit, add up all your points. If you have the highest score, you're the winner!
