- 100 Cards
Object of the Game
Be the first player to successfully collect Animal Cards with a total point value of exactly 30 points (no more, no less).
Set-Up
- If playing for the first time, unwrap the deck of Cards and shuffle it.
- Place the shuffled Cards face down in the middle of the group of players. Any discarded cards should go in a pile next to the draw pile.
How to Play
(Quick Note: This game is played open hand, with all players' cards face up in front of them)
- The oldest player begins by drawing from the shuffled deck in front of him/her. Players can draw as many Cards as they wish during their turn, one at a time, until either: they want to stop, they draw a DANGER NOODLE! Card or they draw a Negative Value Card.
- If a player draws a DANGER NOODLE! Card, he/she must discard all of the Cards in his/her hand.
- If a player picks up a Special Card, he/she must read the Card aloud and immediately perform the action associated with it. That player may continue to draw from the deck after drawing a Special Card.
- Once a player has finished drawing Cards from the deck, his/her turn is over and play continues clockwise with the next player drawing from the deck.
- Play continues in this fashion until the sum of one player's hand (the sum of a player's Positive and Negative Value Cards) reaches exactly 30 points (no more, no less).
Winning the Game
The game ends when the sum of a player's hand reaches 30 points. That person is the DANGER NOODLE! winner, and knows a thing or two about avoiding snakes!
Types of Cards
There are different types of Cards in DANGER NOODLE!:
- Positive Value Cards (for example, Formal Chicken (Penguin), +5 / 5+): these cards add to the total point value of a player's hand.
- Negative Value Cards (for example, Furry Nope (Bear), -5 / 5-): these cards take away from the total point value of a player's hand.
- DANGER NOODLE! Card: Oh no! Not the DANGER NOODLE Card! If a player draws this card, he/she must discard all cards from his/her hand, and his/her turn is over. The card reads: "DISCARD ALL OF YOUR CARDS AND RUN AWAY! YOUR TURN IS OVER, FRIEND."
Special Cards
These Cards include special actions that affect players in good or bad ways. If a player draws a Special Card, he/she must read the Card aloud and immediately perform the action associated with the Card.
- Special Card: Kill a Fella: "DISCARD ANY ONE OF YOUR OPPONENT'S ANIMAL CARDS (POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE)."
Super Special Cards
- Super Special Card: Anti-Venom: "LITERAL LIFESAVER! YOU ARE PROTECTED FROM THE NEXT 3 DANGER NOODLES." This Card is too special not to mention. If a player is lucky enough to draw the Anti-Venom Card, he/she is impervious to the effects of the next 3 DANGER NOODLE! Cards he/she draws.
