Celebrity Values

Type of Game: interactive/competitive                          

Number of Players: 3 - 8

Description: In this game the player's objective is to create the set of three values that best represents the chosen celebrity, fictional character, or historic figure. 

Additional Materials: Pens/pencils and slips of paper; a container (hat, bowl, cup, etc.)

Instructions:

1. Choosing the “celebrities”

   1. Each player writes down 3-5 names (historic figures, celebrities, or fictional characters) on separate slips of paper (one name per paper).

   2. The slips of paper are collected and placed in the container.

2. Playing rounds

   1. One player starts as the dealer. The dealer begins the round by picking a slip of paper from the container and reading the name outloud. The dealer then deals 3 value cards to each of the other players (but not to themself), and turns one value card over to start the discard pile.

   2. The player to the left of the dealer looks at their cards and can either:

      1. offer a trade (ie. say “Does anyone have integrity? I am willing to trade creativity”) or;

      2. draw a card from the deck or discard pile and then return a card to the discard pile.

   3. The players continue taking turns in order until someone has a set they think best fits name the dealer called out at the beginning of the round

   4. When someone has a set that they think best fits this “celebrity” they can “knock” and then each other player can take one more turn.

   5. Starting with the person who “knocked” each player explains why their values set best applies to the person (historic figure, celebrity, or fictional character)

   6. The dealer then decides which player has the best values set (or makes the best argument) and the winning player gets a point.

3. The player who went first in the previous round becomes the dealer. The new dealer picks another name, deals out the cards, and the next round is played.

4. The first player to five points wins.
