Description
Several objects are placed in the middle of the table, e.g. pebbles, coins, marbles, etc. With the exception of one player, there is one object on the table for each participant. The game leader begins to tell a short story, during which the participants listen carefully, because when the word "..." is spoken, each participant must quickly pick up one of the objects in the middle. The person who has not had a chance to take anything is out of the game. After this, the objects are placed back in the middle of the table and the leader removes an object and continues the story. During the course of the game, in each round, one player comes out of the game, and with him, an object from the center of the table. The winner is the one who grabs the last object on the table (last round).
In order to make the game more interesting, the leader has to use words similar to the key word in his or her story, so that the players are misled. The player who extends his hand towards an object when a 'trap' word is spoken is out of the game.
