Instructions
Hilarium Board
Next read the rules, If you are short on time read the Quick rules summary. Next deal out 100 Hilarium dollars to each player. Give each player 5 cards. After every player puts up a 10 dollar ante it’s 1-2-3- GO.

Now start gesturing, singing, dancing, pumping, speaking anything from one of your five cards. Remember don’t say any word on the card unless it is in quotations. Keep your eye on every player as everyone playing will be doing actions from their cards too. Now if no other player is doing anything like any of your 5 cards and nobody claims you start acting out another of your five cards. In all the laughing pandemonium keep watching and when you see someone doing the actions of one of your cards, or someone sees you acting like one of their cards they will show you a card. If it’s a match then Quickly put your card face-down in front of you. Let the other player place his/her card face-down in front of him/her. Now Grab a card from the deck and keep going.

The round continues until the deck runs out and one player hollers “ S T O P!”. When this happens everybody counts their face down cards. The dealer gives each player 10 Hilarium dollars for every card played. For every card left in a players hand the player must give the banker 10 dollar. Remember that ante the player who was able to match the card on top of the ante won the ‘Round Jackpot’. Now remember no body is allowed to count their money. Just go on shuffle a deck and continue on to round 2. At the end of 3 rounds everybody counts up their money

The player with the most money wins. Still with cards like : Someone with false teeth using a jackhammer, or Walking on a tightrope, or Being the strongman in a circus, or a Southern Gospel preacher, there is sure to be a whole lot of Hilarium. Win or Lose you will have a ton of fun.

The price of 40 dollars or about 18 - 20 pounds is well worth the Hirarity bound to ensue.
