This game is a great one to play before a party starts.
People can join it as they arrive, and it can go on as long as you want. Opening his bag of 12 beans, one player - let's say Gregory - puts a few beans in one fist, stretches it out toward another player and asks, "Odds or evens?" If the other player - Connie - guesses correctly that Gregory's closed fist has an odd number of beans in it, she collects those beans. If she guesses wrong, she has to turn over that many beans to Gregory. The object, of course, is to collect all the beans. When you want to stop playing, the winner is the one with the most beans. |
