Can You Guess?
You need:
Three to fou r players
Deck of cards (rem ove face cards) o r Num b er Cards (1 � 10)
Player A deals stacks of cards (on e s t ack to each player, facedown) to Players B and C.
Players B and C take the top card and, without looking at the cards, hold it num e ral side
out, on their foreheads. Player A looks at the two cards and tell s the sum of the two
num b ers. Players B and C look at each othe rs cards and try to guess the card on their
forehead. If you guess the num ber corre ctly, you get to keep the card.
**Version 2: Add one more player to the group. P l ayer A deals to the three players, and
asks each to take th e top card and ho ld it on th eir forehead. The dealer then gives th e su m
of the three cards and th e three player s try to guess their individual cards.
