Goofspiel
Everyone bids for each diamond with a card of their own suit. The highest card takes the prize. 2–4 players.
How to play Goofspiel
- 1Each player gets all thirteen cards of one suit. The diamonds are shuffled face down as the prizes, and one is turned face up at a time.
- 2For each prize, everyone secretly picks one card from their hand as a bid. When all the bids are in, they're turned over and the highest card takes the prize. Aces are low and kings are high.
- 3A prize is worth its number: ace 1, jack 11, queen 12, king 13. If the highest bid is tied, nobody takes it, and it stays in the middle to be won together with the next prize. A tie on the very last prize means nobody gets it.
- 4Bids are spent once used, and everyone can see which cards each player has left. After thirteen prizes, the most points wins.
