Chill Bill 🐧🧊
Eng v1.3. Suitable for 2 to 4 players. Requires a standard card deck.
In this memory and strategy game, each player must find, in order, the cards of their suit from Ace to 5. However, the path is not easy: Jokers can shuffle the entire board, and special cards allow you to peek, continue, or confuse your opponents. Can you remember the location of your cards before everyone else and claim victory?
Prepping
- Divide the deck: Take a standard English deck and assign one suit to each player.
- Remove unnecessary cards: Take out the 6 to 10 cards from each suit in play.
- Deal special cards: Each player keeps the J, Q, and K of their own suit.
- Set up the play area: Shuffle all remaining cards (Ace, 2, 3, 4, and 5 of each suit in play) along with only one Joker. Then, place them face down in a messy pile without overlapping.
Play Area
- On their turn, the player flips over a card.
- If it is the next in their sequence, they leave it face up and continue playing.
- If they make a mistake, they must place the cards face down again and end their turn.
- They can play a special card at any time during their turn.
- Special cards are discarded after one use.
- If they draw the Joker, all cards are shuffled and randomly placed face down. The Joker is discarded.
- The first player to find all their cards in order wins.
If your group of players happens to be very brainy and this becomes easy to you, feel free to increase the difficulty by adding cards 6 and 7 to the game.
Special Cards
J (Jack): Peeks at a card without showing it to others.
Q (Queen): Allows the player to continue playing after a mistake.
K (King): Shuffles and swaps the positions of 2, 3 or 4 cards (depending on the number of players) without looking at them.
