RULES:
The Object: Be the first player to play all the cards in your hand.
Set Up:
Shuffle the deck and deal each player:
• 14 cards for 2 to 4 players.
• 7 cards for 5 to 7 players.
• 5 cards for 8 to 10 players.
Players are not allowed to look at the cards in their hand or touch them. If they do, they must immediately draw 1 card from the top of the deck and return their hand facedown on the table. Once everyone is ready, the Dealer places the deck face-down on the table then flips over the top card of the deck into a face-up discard pile. Each player is now allowed to pick up and look at their hand. The first player to play a correct card from their hand to the discard pile starts the game. Play then proceeds clockwise from that player.
How to Play (Basic Mechanics):
On your turn, you are the “Active Player” and must play 1 card from your hand onto the discard pile. The background color of the card played must match the requirements of the top card in the discard pile. There are two options: “Splatter” and “Speech”.
Splatter Background: If the top card in the discard pile is splattered paint, then you must play a card from your hand where its background color matches the FONT COLOR of the word in the discard pile, regardless of what that word actually says. You can remember this because paint fills in the font.
Speech Background: If the top card in the discard pile has the speech bubble, then you must play a card from your hand where its background color matches what the WORD in the discard pile says, regardless of that word’s font color. You can remember this because the speech bubble tells you what to say.
You may play a Splatter or Speech card from your hand so long as the background color matches the top discard card’s requirements.
If another player thinks you played incorrectly, the accusing player stops play, looks at the cards in the discard to prove you played wrong. If you had played wrong, then you take the illegally played card back into your hand, draw 1 card from the top of the deck, and replay your turn. However, if it is proven that your play was legal, then the play stands and the accuser draws 1 card. Play then continues.
If you cannot play a correct card from your hand, or choose not to, you draw 1 card from the draw deck and end your turn. The next player clockwise then takes a turn.
When playing with 5 or more players, the player to the left of the Active Player, called the “Skipper”, may choose to skip the Active Player’s turn by playing a permissible card before the Active Player plays. If this happens, then the Active Player’s turn ends immediately, without them playing or drawing a card. The player left of the Skipper becomes the new Active Player and play proceeds from them . [See Figure 4]
For example: It is Steve’s turn but Sally, who sits to the left of Steve and has a playable card in her hand, skips Steve and plays her legal card to the discard pile before Steve can play. Steve may not play or draw a card. It is now the player to the left of Sally’s turn.
You may only skip the player on your right when they are the Active Player. The Skipper does not have to skip if they choose not to.
You may always ask whose turn it is at any time. The first player to discard all their cards wins the game. The winner of the previous game deals the next.
2 to 4 Player Rules
When playing with 2-4 players, there is no play order. Everyone plays cards as fast as they can. Players may only play 1 card at a time and may only use 1 hand to play cards. If no one can play, the dealer flips the top card of the deck and play continues. The first player to discard their hand wins.

I would just change the card desing, so that the card would have two copies of the same word, just fliped so that you could easily read from the both sides

I mean, how about sideways?

[@AexisRai]

Seiously: This is definitely the most common complaint I could expect someone to have... but doing that could cramp the space on the cards, which are currently nicely minimal, and also could have another effect on the game that I thought of... I don't know how they could resolve this conflict. I know that if this game was played electronically there would be zero problem with displaying every card in the pile the right way around to every player, but for the physical card game you just can't have everybody on one half of a table... Uno doesn't have this problem with numbers except for 6 and 9, all arabic digits are otherwise very recognizable distinct symbols from all angles. We don't have symbols for colors, and in any case if we did that would defeat the stroop effect. The full words have to stay. It would seem the only solution is to write the word twice on the card, one rotated 180 degrees, but how? If you make two separate splats / bubbles to put the words in, you've significantly decreased the background color space. If you shove the two words into the same splat/bubble, then you might not have to increase its size too much to fit them and it could work. However... There is a second impact that could have on the game, which could be good or bad depending on your attitude. It generates a winning strategy for defeating the stroop effect: look at the top card, ignore its background color, look for the splat/speech shape: -if splat, look at the top word. it's rotated so you can't read it, so your brain won't automatically generate the word. look at its color and put down a card of that color. -if bubble, look at the bottom word. it's rotated so you can read it, so your brain _will_ automatically generate the word. put down a card of that color. This suggests that with the unmodified single-word cards, you're going to be better at responding to splats from people on the opposite side of the table and bubbles from people on the same side, and worse at the opposite. This isn't too unbalanced in itself I guess, so maybe it's acceptable.

Maybe have the word written twice so that people don’t have to read it upside down? Or don’t, it adds to the confusion.

[@beaclaster]

or the word be written like captcha circling the center of the card

[@tasoganedude]

This can get very confusing if it's played at a fast pace. You gotta make sure that your turn doesn't get skipped. But you also gotta make sure that you place down the right color (or get away with placing the wrong one.)

I have a question: Is the Hardcore version completely separate from the regular game or does it mix with the regular deck?

I would recommend finding a way to make players have to rush in 2-4 player games instead of just 5-8. People might take really long turns for fear of messing up. Great game though!

Does that mean it's a valid strategy to wait for the skipper to skip your turn to avoid drawing a card if you don't have a card you can play?

[@powguma]

When there's no play order (2-4 players), a player can cheat by stacking their deck in order ahead, and when the 1 color they are waiting on is drawn, they can dump the whole deck. So can others accuse this cheater after multiple cards are played? What would be the penalty? Also, should there be a delay between playing each card?

[@originalman6599]

why do you say that's cheating? it's just abusing the poorly thought out mechanics of this gimmicky game. don't think about it too hard this is dead on arrival anyway.

[@hansjrgenlunderiksen2246]

It's not cheating. It's just playing multiple cards really fast

[@TJTrickster]

As long as you play 1 card at a time and with one hand, it is allowed. An accusation, however stops play and then anyone can possibly play next. Just don't expect the others aren't ready for a certain type of card, that might derail the plan.

[@powguma]

I made the original comment to give the creator something to think about. This play may not be "cheating" in the strict sense because it's playing by the current rules. But this certainly ruins the fun to either give other players no chance at winning or to interrupt the play for an accusation and go through multiple cards. Perhaps "abuse" was a more correct term, and I believe it needs to be fixed.

[@DrLogii]

Are you allowed to play an illegal card on purpose? If yes, this would probably be better than just drawing one card. Also, what happens, if you play an illegal card (on purpose or on accident), and you get called out for it, draw a card, but still don't have a legal card to play?

[@qaday123]

He said to ‘play the turn again’ so I assume that just means draw another card. And also what do you mean ‘better than drawing one card’? Drawing a card serves as a punishment, so I wouldn’t see why you would subject yourself to just gain a free card.

[@TripleSGames]

if you play illegally and are caught, you take your card back, draw 1 penalty card, then take your turn again. If you don't have a playable card, then you draw 1 card and end your turn.

[@DrLogii]

Ah okay, makes sense, thanks. But still, is it, in theory, allowed to play a illegal card on purpose , and to hope, that nobody will see it?

[@mauer1]

@@DrLogii if this gets too much of a problem the punishment for calling out an illegal card should get higher (like 2 cards for the illegal play) because yes, it seems like its always better to try and play a card and hope people dont see it in time.

Serious complaint: blue text as shown in this video is very dark and does not look blue like the blue card backing looks blue - it looks nearly black. Sometimes the green is also a bit dark. This is a fine-tuning thing, but it could matter a lot for the fluency aspects of the actual stroop effect. Remember that the same color can look different against different background colors, and also that a solid color is going to look darker than a gradient that starts at thar color but fades into white. You might want to tune the colors so that e.g. you have 4 slightly different text blues and a bg blue such that blue-on-blue, on-green, on-red, and on-yellow all _appear_ the same as each other and as the background blue, even if that means making the text blues lighter. Maybe it's _just_ the difference between your current text blue and background blue, idk. Hopefully this isn't too intrusive of a comment, I understand nothing can be perfect (the original pure psych test itself can't possibly be tuned perfectly), just something I noticed. I otherwise love the idea of the game and I believe it has potential to be very popular. You clearly tried at all the design aspects, like making the splat a clearly different shape than the speech bubble, making the colors about as different from each other as you could, making the text readable, and the gameplay aspects too. Sorry to bury the praise after the criticism!
