📖 About This Game
In Wacky Cousin Wendell, 1-2 players will assume the role of cousins who are pitted against each other in another one of Wacky Cousin Wendell’s games. During the game, players will have a hand of five cards each round where they'll simultaneously place and/or tuck one each turn to their tableau to form polyomino patterns for various scoring opportunities.
After a card has been played, players then simultaneously point their finger at a score condition they'd like to claim with a polyomino pattern that matches one they've created in their tableau. The claimed score condition is placed in the players tableau on top of the symbols that created the pattern. If players point to the same score condition, the player nearest to the card will choose who receives it while the other player will draw two cards and choose one to claim.
After all five cards have been placed, players set aside all claimed score conditions and reset the game. After three rounds, tally up the scores and whoever has the most points wins!
Wacky Cousin Wendell is the third game in the Risible Relatives Series. Each game in the series is a standalone 54-card game for 1-2 players that can also be combined with each game in the series for a different experience.
