How to Play Signal – The Card Game
Signal is a great team card game to play and it is extremely fun. It is not easy to get tired of this game because it is so much fun to play. You play with a normal deck of 52 cards. It can be played with 4 or more people. The object of the game is to get four of a kind and then tell your partner that you have it.
To begin with, each partner must face each other. Before starting to play, each team must go to a separate room to signal for when they have four equal players. Some examples might be winking, smiling, fluttering eyelashes, scratching nose, licking lips, or anything else that doesn’t immediately alert the other teams. All signs must be above the table.
The dealer then deals four cards to each player and holds onto the rest of the deck. When everyone is ready, the dealer will start to pick up one card at a time and pass it to the rest of the players in a clockwise direction. If a player wants the card passed to him, he can replace it with another card in his hand. Once a player has four of a kind, they should use their cue to show their partner that they have four of a kind. If a player sees his partner giving the signal, then he must shout “signal!” If your partner has four of the same, that team wins, if not, that team loses.
If a player from another team notices another player giving a signal, he can yell “signal” and signal who he is calling. If that team has four of a kind, then the team that called it wins, if not, the corresponding team wins. If the dealer runs out of cards before any team wins, they can pick up the discarded pile and start over. Turn the distributors clockwise.
This game can go on for hours. Spice it up by alternating partners or coming up with new sign ideas. It’s always fun to have a foolproof cue that you can use repeatedly with the same partner.
