Halli Galli

Description

--- Halli Galli is a fast-paced speed action card game where players race to spot exactly five matching fruits on the table and ring the bell to claim cards, with elimination for running out. Key mechanics include: - *Fruit matching* Players watch for exactly five of one fruit type (four kinds shown in 1-5 quantities) among visible central cards. - *Turn-based play* Each player deals one face-down card face-up to a shared table area. - *Bell reaction* Correctly ringing on five-of-a-kind collects all played cards into personal deck; incorrect pays one card per opponent. - *Dynamic sets* Five-fruit totals emerge from new reveals or covering prior cards, altering visible counts. - *Elimination phase* Depleted decks eliminate players; final two continue until one bell strike, largest deck wins. Halli Galli is a speed action game utilizing a 56-card deck depicting four fruit types in groups of 1 to 5 fruits each, played with a central hotel-style bell. The deck distributes evenly face-down among players, who take turns revealing one card face-up to a communal table. Vigilance is key: the instant visible cards total exactly five of one fruit—whether from fresh reveals or coverings (e.g., a non-banana atop a 3-banana card exposing prior 1 and 4-banana cards)—players compete to strike the bell first. Success grants all table cards to the ringer's personal deck; failure requires paying one card from their deck to each opponent. Depleting one's deck eliminates a player; with two remaining, play persists until one final bell strike, awarding victory to the tallest deck stack. ---
