Pow Wow


As usual, the game I'm introducing this week is called Pow Wow. You may have seen it on TV that people attach poker cards on there forehead so they can't see their own number and have to guess the sum of all of the cards. I wonder if the show copied this game. However, the different point of the game is the theme: Indian, native American Chieftain. The numbercards are made in leather shape, attached to colorful headbands, which makes everyone looks like Indians.

The other specialty of this game is the number and function of the cards. There are not only positive numbers but also negative numbers, zero in addition. That makes the game more exciting.

Every turn, after everyone attached a card on their forehead, the bidding and bluffing and the guessing begins... can either challenge the previous player's bid or increase that bid. Just like the TV show, you can use your tool to pass or reverse the players order, or draw another card and put it on other players head. When a challenge inevitably occurs, everyone takes off their feather cards and totals up the values to determine whether the bidder or the challenger has lost. If the challenger lost, he has to put a lost token on his headband. When a person collected three tokens, he loses the game.

That's not the end. The game has a punishment forthe loser. Others put all the card on his head and then take a picture of him as a chieftain.

I played this game several times and it is really a exciting game. Luckily I seldom loose. Haha.

Further punishment can be discussed.
This is a example of my friend being punished, but he didn't have all of the cards on his head obviously.
