Can you read each other over Breakfast before time runs out?

Game Design: Courtney Laschkewitsch Sound Designer & Composer: TT Game Audio

2 players | 1 minute | 8 + | Print & cut out these 6 cards.

This game's theme and soundtrack is inspired by the 1930's song now in Public Domain by Ben Bernie: (Across The Breakfast Table) Looking At You (Pat Kennedy, vocal) 

(Feel free to print out more cards to add more players to the game! Unlimited players can play. Print and cut out the 3 cards per player. Play co-op or bracket style. Current print out includes cards for a 2 player game).

It's 2 players against the clock in this cooperative game. The Game is Simple. In one minute, come up with 3 unique patterns as time goes on with your 3 cards. Have them match the 3 patterns of your partner and you win! The catch? You can’t talk.

• Give each player the 3 unique cards.
• Start the 1 minute soundtrack.
• Pick your first card based on whatever reason you might think they may place it first. Once you have picked a card, hold it in the other hand facing towards you so they can't see it . Once both player's cards are held up,  both at the same time, place them face up on the table. If you got it right, continue to the next card. Then the next. If you get it wrong at any point, pick up your cards and you must start over. Every time you start over, you can change the pattern. 
• Once you get a pattern right, you get 1 point. Now you must pick a different pattern, and do the same thing. 1 point and you win. 2 points and you win more. 3 points and you actually win!

Reasons someone might place a certain card down: Based on what you would pick up first or do at the table, what matters most to the other person or yourself, level of consciousness, interest in subject, etc.
