The Rules
- Both players start with a set number of playing cards each and the aim of the game is to own the lot of them.
- The current player at the start of a new game is chosen by tossing a coin.
- That player then looks at the first card in his hand and chooses a rating to play.
- His opponent looks at the rating corresponding to his own first card. The highest rating wins and the winner gets the two cards that were being played.
- If the opponent wins, he takes control of the game, otherwise it's the starting player that begins the next round.
- In the event of a draw, the two cards that were being played are placed into a pile and are won by the winner of the next round.
- The game ends when a player doesn't have any more cards in his hand.
The Ratings
A player can choose between the following ratings for each game:
- Whooshability - Was the game dead fast to play, or was the gameplay of a more sedate nature?
- Strokability - Did the game charm you with its sickening cuteness or did it have the hugability of Margaret Thatcher?
- Blastability - Were there plenty of things to shoot, kill, maim or destroy? Or was it a game you could safely play in front of your granny without her tutting?
- Ponderability - How puzzling was the game to play? Did you have to stop and think every now and then or was it a simple case of shoot first and ask questions later?
- Memorability - Do people still talk about the game today, a couple of decades since its first release? Or do they rank alongside Brosettes?
