HOW TO PLAY
|
Accept Your Mission. Each player selects 1 of the 8 mission cards, pops out the 5 mission tokens and places them into the box top. |
|
|
Launch Your Mission. Play begins when the dealer draws a card from the top of the deck and discards any card in their hand, face down, to the player on the left. This action continues as all players simultaneously pick up a discarded card from their right and then discard to their left. Each player should have no less than 4 and no more than 5 cards in their hand at all times. A player can take only one card at a time and must not pick from their own discard pile. Once a player has 4 matching cards, and grabs a token, then all players should rush to grab a token from the center. Since each player may take only one token, someone will always be left empty-handed.

variations
Wild Hazard. Same as Go Wild, but all players reveal their cards at the end of the round. If a player is caught with a wild card and without a 4-of-a-kind, then they must forfeit the token from that round or from their mission card.
No Free Riders. Tokens can only be grabbed by players with a 4-of-a-kind.
Warp Speed. Each player pops out only 2, 3 or 4 tokens from their mission cards.
Dealer Privilege. If a player has a 4-of-a-kind and grabs a token matching the item on the cards, that player deals next and can select specific tokens for the center. The dealer in the next round is the player to the left.
Secret Mission. Players hide their mission cards so that other players are not able to tell which tokens they need.
Classic Spoons (Long). Put aside your mission cards and place any tokens in the center. Players receive a letter when they do not grab a token in a round. Spell "S-P-O-O-N-S" and you are eliminated. Last player standing wins.
Classic Spoons (Short). Fail to grab a token in a round and you are eliminated. Last player standing wins.
Bluffing. Don’t fall victim to a bluffer. If you are the first to grab a token but no players have a 4-of-a-kind, then you forfeit the token from that round and one from your mission card, if available.
Extreme Reach. Place tokens in distant locations, not on the table.
