Hands Up (2002)

About this game

Hands Up is a wild and fast hand-twisting game for 2-8 players ages 6 and up. A card is turned over and as quickly as possible, all players imitate the hand position depicted on it. The slowest player takes the card, and the player with the most cards at the end of the game loses. Contains 60 square cards with 4 hand illustrations on each (Schmidt Spiele version only has 54 cards + one instruction card).

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 8.
• Rules load. At 1.1/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 6 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
