Halli Galli Junior (1998)

About this game

Halli Galli Junior is a speed action game in which players must ring a bell when they see two clowns of the same color. During set-up, each player receives cards with clowns in nine colors. Most of them look happy, but some are unhappy. Hold your deck face down; deal one face up in front of you. As soon as you see two happy clowns of the same color, you hit the bell. If you're correct, you pick up all the played cards and put them into your deck. If you're wrong, pay the other players one card each. If you run out of cards, you're out. When only two players are left, they play until one of them hits the bell, then they resolve that and the player with the taller deck wins. Reimplements Halli Galli

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 4 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
