Avocado Smash

Today's game is called Avocado Smash. This is a great game that my friend Kandace got for me because she knows I'm as obsessed with new games as she is!

Gameplay:

Shuffle the deck and deal all of the cards face down, giving an equal number of cards to each player.

Take the top card from your pile and place it face up in the center.The next player should then take the top card from their pile and place it on top of the center card, and so on.

If both cards have the same number of avocados on them, it is a smash! All players must smash their hands down in the center. The last player to react loses the round and takes all of the cards from the center, adding them to the bottom of their pile.

The losing player then begins the next round by placing their next card face up in the center.

While turning over your card, you must also count avocados aloud-so the first player always begins with "one avocado".The next player must follow in sequence, saying "two avocados", and so on. Players continue up to "15 avocados" and then return to "one avocado" as they reveal the cards.

If a card matches the number said aloud on that turn, it is a smash! As before, all players must smash their hands down in the center, and the losing player takes the cards from the center.

When you reveal a Smash! Card, it is an automatic smash!When you reveal a Guacamole Card, all players must shout, "Guacamole!" and the last player to react loses the round. However, if anybody erroneously smashes their hand down in the center on a Guacamole Card, then they are the loser for that round, regardless of who shouted last.

Verdict:
We love this game! I will suggest clipping your fingernails before playing, haha!

Great for Learning:
Multi-level thinking (you are playing one number, saying another number out loud, and trying to remember if it matches the number card you are playing on top of!), reaction time, reflexes
