Spoons Goal Be first to collect four of a kind and grab a spoon. Key Terms Four of a kind: Needed before grabbing a spoon. Spoon grab: The moment everyone tries to take a spoon. Setup Place one fewer spoon than players in the center. Deal 4 cards to each player. Play Everyone passes one card to the left simultaneously. Keep passing quickly until you have four of a kind. Spoons Once you have four of a kind, quietly take a spoon. Everyone else grabs; the player without a spoon gets a letter. Example Turn You pass a 9♠left and receive a 9♥. Now you have four 9s and quietly take a spoon. End Game ends when a player spells SPOONS (or agreed limit).
