"Shava Shava" – is a new crazy board game from the creators of "Exploding Kittens". In it, over the course of two rounds, you will recruit shawarma makers by collecting sets of three identical cards – these will earn you victory points. The deck from which you will draw cards is the discard pile of the neighboring player, so do not expect any order in this crazy chaos! The game wouldn’t be called "Shava Shava" if it only had cards: in the center of the table, there will be 2 beautiful soft shavas waiting to be thrown at someone’s face when special cards are played... They are indeed soft and leave no mess, so they won’t harm you or your furniture (but it’s better not to aim for the head).
Shawarma/shaverma, doner, burrito, gyros, kati roll, or even a meat pancake – it doesn’t matter what you love; what matters is that you will enjoy this game. Give it a try!
How to play?
The rules of the game are as simple as the recipe for shawarma. Just like you add sauce to the shawarma to your taste, deal cards to the players by eye: approximately 15 for each. These 15 cards are placed to the right of the player and become their personal deck, from which they draw 5 cards. Divide the remaining cards into 2 piles and place them in the center – these are the common decks. And of course, the main ingredients of the game – the 2 shavas – are placed in the center!
To win, you need to score the most points, and points are earned by collecting sets of three identical cards. All players simultaneously perform the following actions: they take one card from their hand, place it in the personal pile of the player on their left, and then take one card from their personal pile on the right (where the neighbor might have already placed their card). As soon as you collect 3 identical shawarma maker cards, lay them out in front of you face up, draw from your personal pile up to 5 cards, and continue trading.
A regular set earns 1 victory point. However, if you collect a set of three identical battle cards, you will get 2 points and trigger a shawarma battle! Announce this, and then the other players must grab a shawarma from the table and throw it at someone else. As soon as the shawarma hits its target, the battle ends, and the player who got hit by the juicy snack takes a shaw-ushiba token – it subtracts one victory point. The round continues until all shaw-ushiba tokens are drawn from the supply. The player with the most points is declared the winner of the round, receives the shawarma power token, and starts the second round.
Who won?
If the same player wins the second round as in the first, they are awarded an unconditional victory and the title of grand master shawarmist! But there can also be a tie: in this case, the contenders for victory in the round or game must participate in a duel! Both players take a shawarma, stand back to back, and with the words "3, 2, 1..." take 3 steps apart. Then they shout "SHAWA" and turn around, throwing shawarmas at each other. Whoever gets hit loses, that’s how it goes!
