You Are On Mute

OBJECT OF THE GAME

Are you stuck in a long and boring online meeting? Collect and match the participants to earn the highest score and win the meeting!

SETUP

Shuffle participant and play decks separately. Deal 5 play cards to each player. Leave a space for a discard pile for play cards.

Take top 12 participants and place them in a 4x3 matrix (3 rows and 4 columns named A, B, C, and D). The participant at A1 is called the First Speaker.

TURN ORDER

Determine turn order. When it is your turn, play as many cards as you want from your hand. When finished, collect the First Speaker. Draw a participant card and place it at A1. Arrange matchings and draw a card.

MATCHING PARTICIPANTS

Place the participants you collected in front of you. You can match participants with the same names, surnames, or platforms. You are free to change matchings based on names and surnames, however, you cannot remove participants from matchings done based on platforms--you can only add to them.

ENDING THE GAME

When the participant deck is finshed and there are 11 participants left in the meeting, the game ends. Calculate your score:

Unmatched participants: 1 point each

Two with same name or surname: 3 points

Three with same name or surname: 6 points

Five with same platform: 10 points
