About

In Schnattergei, you need to call out the right words at the right time — and know when to hit the deck! To start, deal each player a deck of 25 face-down cards. Cards show one of seven items on them — banana, strawberry, elephant, cocoa, carrot, bell pepper, or schnattergei (this being a chatty parrot) — with each item being in one of four colors: yellow, red, blue, or brown. On a turn, flip the top card of your deck onto the discard pile and quickly say the object (banana, strawberry, elephant, cocoa) matching the color of the card revealed (yellow, red, blue, brown). You never say "carrot" or "pepper", and when you flip a schnattergei, you must "parrot" the previous player by saying what they said, not what matches the color of the parrot. If you make a mistake, take two cards from your deck and place them under the discard pile. When someone reveals an item that matches the item on the top of the discard pile, everyone must race to slap the pile. Whoever does so first claims all the cards in the discard pile and puts them under their draw deck, face down. The game ends when a player runs out of cards and does not manage to win the discard pile in the same round. Whoever has the most cards at the end of the game wins.
