HALVES is a word game for the ruthless! At home, the office, band practice, in the bar or on a plane (where this game was conceived!) bring your friends together and find out who is the wordiest of all. Be careful though, winning cards is the easy bit, staying in the lead is where things get complicated. To win the game, simply Guess the word on your opponent's card to win points. Be the player with the most points at the end of the game! The active player must choose a word from one card in their hand for their opponents to try and guess. The colour behind the chosen word dictates the game type for the round: - Yellow is CATEGORIES, - Blue is RHYMES WITH, - Red is PERFECT PAIRS. The active player must think of a clue for their word. Then they announce the game type and their clue to all players who have 30 seconds to guess it. Any cards a player has won from a previous round is at risk from TRAP cards. Guess, Swap, Bluff or Steal your way to put points on the table and be the envy of all your friends and family! Created by Carter & Richardson the same minds that make up your favourite punk rock and roll band The Rattlesnakes.
