Game Description
The goal of this game is to pit 2 people or 2 teams against each other (with 2 players representing their teams). Objects are hidden in fine sand, which is placed in a pot. The 2 players will have 2 objectives:
- Identify each object
- Guess who they belong to.
Ideally, a person should not be associated with more than one object in the pot. Both players search in the sand simultaneously, obviously there is a strong possibility of their hands moderately confronting each other during the search for an object but that’s part of the fun !
When a player retrieves an object and tries to guess its name and owner, the other player can continue searching for objects in the pot without stopping.
If an object is misidentified either in its function or regarding its owner, it must be placed back in the sand and can only be attempted again after another object has been tried OR after the second player has also tried it.
Necessary Accessories
- A pressure cooker, a large deep dish, or simply a bucket.
- Fine sand to fill at least half of the pot.
- Up to 10 objects (or more) each representing a person from the 2 teams
End of the Game
The game ends when both players have identified the nature of each object along with their owners. Then, you tally the points to determine the winner
