Welcome to the Bloops fishbowl!
In this blind discard game, the goal is to finish with the lowest score. You start the game with 6 face-down cards, of which only 3 can be memorised... Easy, right? Until someone swaps them, adds more to your hand, or you get so busy enjoying everyone else's mistakes that you lose track!
On your turn, draw a card. Keep it or discard it... but careful! If you replace one of your cards, do it without looking. A mistake? That is a penalty. Discarded cards can trigger effects: adding a card to an opponent, swapping cards, peeking at one... and this merry chaos is amplified by the counter-discard mechanic: you can all get rid of identical cards at the same time.
When card 20 is played or a player shouts "Bloops!", the game is over and the scores are revealed. Unless you have 3 or more "star" cards: those do not count! Memory, bluff and timing will make you the king fish of the bowl. Small and compact, Bloops will follow you everywhere for games with family or friends.
