Read the full game description

A party game where players create a chain of syllables that continues without stopping. If the players go wrong, they will be penalized. In the game, there are 3 cards on the table that have different hand gestures (in total there are 15 cards with different gestures but we only use 3 in each game). Also on the table is another card with different words from different categories (food, objects, countries). Players in each round choose a word and each player has to say one syllable of the word. When you say a syllable, you can also make a gesture of the 3 that are on the table (the next player repeats a syllable, has to say a syllable with another vowel, change the direction of the game, etc.) When a player makes a mistake in saying his syllable, the round ends and takes one of the 12 unused gesture cards. Each card has 1-3 pickles. The player with the fewest pickles at the end of the game will be the winner.
