32 cards. Players: 2-6. Age: 4 years and up. Duration: approx. 10 minutes.
Object of the game
Has someone turned on the light in the house? Has the boy turned his cap? The player to spot the difference first may add one of his own cards to the ones already displayed. The child to get rid of his cards first, wins!
Game Setup
Depending on the number of players each player receives a certain number of cards that he places in a pile in front of him.
- 2 players - 6 cards
- 3 players - 6 cards
- 4 players - 5 cards
- 5 players - 4 cards
- 6 players - 4 cards
Additionally, 5 cards are displayed in the middle of the table. It doesn't matter which side is lying face up. The remaining cards are returned to the box.
Playing the Game
The youngest player goes first. While all other players cover their eyes with their hands, the start player chooses one of the displayed cards and turns it over. On the signal: "Look! What's different?" all players open their eyes and - as quickly as possible - try to spot the card that has been turned over. Each player only gets one attempt!
The player who found out the correct card may add one of his own cards to the cards in the middle and is next to turn over a card.
If no player manages to find the correct card, the player who turned it over may add one of his cards to the middle and gets to turn over another card.
Example: Anna was start player and has turned over the card with the alarm-clock. Jeanette was the first to find out that the time on the alarm-clock has changed and therefore may place one of her own cards in the middle of the table. She is next to turn over one of the cards.
End of the Game
The game ends as soon as a player places the last of his cards in the middle. That player wins the game.
Only two players? No problem!
If only two players want to play, the game is of course not so much about speed but about having a keen eye! All other rules remain the same.
Tip for parents: LOOK! with very small children
Even small children can play the game and have fun. In that case it is best to reduce the number of cards in the game and encourage your child to describe the change on a card as a miniature story: "The dog has gone to sleep", "The traffic lights have turned red" or "The ant has crawled onto the mushroom". These miniature stories help your child to memorize the differences in the pictures.
