Overview

Happy Birthday is the hilarious game where you get points for giving the best gifts AND for giving the worst gifts!

Set-Up

• Deal a hand of 5 Gift Cards face-down to each player.
• Pick a player to be the first Birthday Judge. The other players are the Gift Givers.

How to Play

1. Each Gift Giver chooses one Gift Card to give to the Birthday Judge. Place the Gift Card face-down on the table.
2. The Birthday Judge mixes up the Gift Cards and flips them face-up one at a time (so everyone can see them).
3. After the gifts have been discussed, the Birthday Judge selects 2 gifts: the gift she likes the most and the gift she dislikes the most.
4. The player who gave the worst gift and the player who gave the best gift put the winning cards face-up in front of them to track scoring. Each card counts as 1 point.
5. Put the gifts that were not chosen into a discard pile. Everyone draws back up to 5 Gift Cards. The role of the Birthday Judge passes to the left. Start again at Step 1.

End of the Game

The first player to 5 points wins!

3 Player Rules

Each player gives 2 Gift Cards to the Birthday Judge. This rule can also be used with 4 players.
