Slapzi

Slapzi - A slapping game

Slapzi is from the makers of the dice game Tenzi. The box says Slapzi is a fast-matching, card slapping, everyone-laughing picture game. The box also says there are lots of ways to play, and you know how fun it is to read that! Sounds promising.

Inside the box are 120 picture cards and 65 clue cards. All cards measure 3.5" square. Each picture card shows two different objects, one front and one back, both different, of everyday items, like starfish, cupcake and bulldozer. Each clue card is printed with one clue, such as meant to go in your mouth, too heavy to lift and often found in water. The same clue is printed twice on each card, i guess so people sitting in different places around the table can all read it. The goal is to match picture cards to clue cards. For instance meant to go in your mouth could be paired with a picture of a cupcake and too heavy to lift can be paired with a bulldozer. Be the first to slap your picture card on the clue card to win it. Slapping games may be calming and organizing to those who seek deep pressure.

With that said, the instructions list multiple ways to play, so here goes: 


Original Slapzi

Object:
Be the first to get rid of all five of your picture cards.

Set up:
Deal five cards to each player. Each player places their five cards, face-up, in a line in front of them. Shuffle the clue cards and place them in a face-down pile in the middle of the players.

Play:
Any player flips over the top clue card. All players play at the same time and look over their picture cards, both front and back looking for an object that matches the clue. For instance if the clue is something round, pictures that could be played include basketball, moon or donut. The first person to slap one of their picture cards on the clue card just got rid of one of their cards. Now the next clue card is turned over and the process is repeated. Keep going until someone plays their last picture card and wins the game.

If a player slaps a picture card and the majority of players do not think it is a fit, that player has to take back his card and draw another picture card. You could also have one person, the mighty slapper, who does not play the game be the card turner and the final judge of any questionable matches. 

Either or Slapzi - Same as Slapzi but turn two clue cards per turn, not just one.

Twisted Slapzi - Same as Slapzi but turn two clue cards per turn. Players must find a picture card that matches one of the clue cards, but not both.

Super Slapzi - All of the clue cards are spread out face-down on the table. On "go", everyone works to play their five cards. If you turn over a clue card you do not have a match for, return the clue card to the face-down position and try another one. If you find a match, leave them both face-up. First to play all five picture cards wins the game.

Reverse Slapzi - Instead of being dealt five picture cards, players are dealt five clue cards and the picture cards are flipped over one at a time for matching.

Double Slapzi - Same as Slapzi but turn two clue cards. Players must be able to cover both cards first to win.

Opposite Slapzi - Same as Slapzi except play a picture card that does not match the clue card. For instance if the clue is something you can eat, you could play a teddy bear or an airplane.

Double Opposite Slapzi - Same as Slapzi and opposite Slapzi, but two clue cards are turned simultaneously and the same player must quickly play a picture card to cover each clue that does not match the clue card.
