Description
In Hats, two to four players compete to acquire the most remarkable hats by exchanging cards from their hand with those on the board (the tea table). Each card exchange affects their value. Naturally, at the end of the game, the player with the highest score will be declared the winner!
Collect the most extravagant hats and become the star of the tea room.
At the start of the game, players draw nine cards. On your turn, you can perform one of the following two actions:
- Exchange hats: Play a card from your hand and exchange it with a card of the same color from the tea table OR exchange it for a card of any color, but of a lower value. Add the exchanged card to your collection by placing it face up in front of you.
- Create a black hat: Place a card face down in front of you to add it to your collection. This card is considered a black hat. At the end of the game, each black hat in your collection is worth one point. - Optional Action: At any time during your turn, you can discard a single card of your choice to draw a new one. In a four-player game, players will trade cards with their teammates.
The game ends after all players have played 8 cards. Each player reveals the last card in their hand: this is their favorite hat type.
Scoring:
- Hat Collection: Players earn points for each card in their collection, based on the position of that type of card on the board.
- Favorite Hat: Each player reveals their final "favorite hat" card type. Players earn points equal to the sum of all the cards in their collection corresponding to their "favorite hat" type minus the card's value.
- Cookies: A cookie awards 5 points to the player holding the most different types of cards in their collection.
