Hands Up is a game of skill, speed and observation that moves a lot. It consists of a deck of 55 cards representing one or two hands in different positions on 4 pictures allowing all participants to see the picture at a good angle, regardless of their position around the table. I'm innocent, Judge!
A first referee is determined, he draws the first card from the deck and reads it while the other players do not see it. Then he quickly places it face up in the center of the table. Each player must then reproduce the gesture indicated by this card. If no one makes a mistake, the judge gives the card to the slowest player. If someone makes a mistake, he gets the card. In case of dispute, the judge is all-powerful and will designate the unfortunate loser. If the dispute cannot be resolved, the card is not awarded to anyone.
Is my left thumb on my right hand? Damn! The loser of the round becomes the new judge and the game continues as long as there are cards to be dealt. As you can see, the player who finishes the game with the fewest cards is the winner! But if everything were so simple... Some cards have positions that are impossible to reproduce. In this case, you have to put your arms crossed on your chest if the card has parallel arms and the opposite if it is the opposite.
A variation is proposed for two players where one plays shoulder to shoulder, one plays the right arm and the other the left!
