Title of Game Card: Pass the Gravy

Having FUN together
creates lifelong memories 

"As a kid, I loved playing games at our big family gatherings. I created Pass the Gravy!™ as a way to share that joy."

 

-- Joyce Litoff, Game Designer

​

How to play

Game card: Gravy

OBJECT: To win tokens by holding the highest-scoring card at the end of each round. Card values range from 0 to 10.

 

SET UP: Place the ten token cards face down in the center of the table. Shuffle the deck.

 

PLAY: The youngest player deals one card face down to each person.

 

Starting at the dealer’s left, in turn, each player looks at their card and either keeps it or trades it with the next player to try to get a higher-scoring card. A player must trade if asked to do so.

 

Is one card being traded repeatedly? They are trying to
PASS THE GRAVY!

​

Turkey cards block trades. Players turn them face up and call out, “gobble-gobble!” Play skips to the next person on the left.

 

On their turn, the dealer may opt to take the top card from the deck as their trade.

 

Players then reveal their cards. The high card holder claims a random token card.

 

In case of a tie, each high card gets a token card. Place used cards in a discard pile. The deal moves to the left. Reshuffle as necessary.

 

ENDING THE GAME: The game ends

when all token cards have been claimed. The player with the most tokens wins.

 

Any player who has had fun also wins!​​
