Hands Down (1964)

About this game

Object: "Play the most card pairs by slapping your Slam-O-Matic hand." The object of the game is to make the most pairs. If you are the last person to "slap-in" after as a pair is played ("Hands Down") then you lose a card from your hand.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.1/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 5 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
