Objective
Wau Wau is a fun family card game designed to enhance players' reflexes. The goal of the game is to get rid of your cards as quickly as possible by ringing a bell when matching card combinations appear.
Setup
The game includes cards and a bell. Shuffle the cards thoroughly and distribute them evenly among all players. Each player creates a face-down deck with their cards in front of them.
Gameplay
-
Round Start: The youngest player starts, and play proceeds clockwise.
-
Reveal Cards: Each player takes turns revealing the top card of their deck and placing it in the middle, forming a shared discard pile.
-
Bell Ring: As soon as there are two consecutive cards with the same image or symbol (e.g., two dogs), players must quickly ring the bell in the center of the table.
-
Winning the Round: The fastest player wins all the cards in the discard pile and adds them to the bottom of their deck.
-
Continuation: The game continues with the next player revealing their next card.
-
Elimination: If a player runs out of cards, they are eliminated from the game.
End of the Game
The game ends when only one player has cards remaining. This player is the winner.
Key Rules
- The bell should only be rung when the cards truly match. False bell-ringing results in the player having to add one of their cards to the current discard pile.
- If players are too inaccurate, they may receive a penalty card.
Strategic Tips
- Attention: Always keep an eye on the other players' cards.
- Fast Reflexes: Practice reacting quickly to matches.
- Bluffs: Sometimes, pretending to go for the bell can unsettle other players.
Note: "Wau Wau" is easy to learn and is perfect for players of all ages seeking a quick and entertaining game.
