Candy Cane Game (Spoons)

 

 

 

 

Spoons is a fun party game you can play with up to 13 people. For this game, replace the spoons with candy canes.  Players take turns trying to collect a four-of-a-kind. Once someone does, everyone tries to grab a candy cane. Without a candy cane, you get a letter. If a player spells “Candy Cane”, they’re out! The last player standing wins!

 
Necessary Item

A standard deck of cards (no Jokers)
Candy Canes, one fewer than there are players
3 to 13 players

Rules for Game

Arrange the candy canes in a small circle or in a straight line in the center of the table and deal four cards to each player. Each player tries to make four of a kind. The dealer takes a card off the top of the deck to have five cards in his hand, removes one and passes it facedown to the left. Each player discards to the person on his left.

The last player places his discard into a trash pile. Cards are picked up and passed quickly around the table until someone gets four of a kind and takes a candy cane from the center. Once the player with four of a kind takes a candy cane, (as slyly as possible), anyone can take one. The player left without a candy cane gets a letter. If at any time the draw cards run out, reshuffle the discard pile and keep going.

How to win 

The winner is the last player remaining. Players move closer to elimination each time they don’t get a candy cane and take the next letter in the words Candy Cane. Spell it and you’re out.
