Round 1: your first 4 cards + 1
- The final goal of the game is to end up, after a few rounds, with 5 Talent cards that represent you most.
We all have a bit of the 40 different Talents represented by the cards, but at the end, you want to have those 5 cards that are most like you. - Take 4 cards (you can browse the deck): 1 for each Driver (the symbol on the back of the card), and put them in front of yourself with the face with the pictures up
- Shuffle the deck.
- Start the stopwatch!
- After 40 seconds take 8 cards from the bottom of the deck and select one card that you would like to have, in the next 40 seconds.
Round 2: change 2 cards
- (TIME: 40 seconds) Now select two (2) cards that don’t represent you, or represent you less than other cards and discard them.
- Take 8 new cards (from the bottom of the deck) and put them in the center of the table.
- (TIME: 40 seconds) Select 2 new cards from the table.
Round 3: to change or not to change
- (TIME: 40 seconds) Now you have one additional chance to improve your personal selection, select from 0, 1 or 2 cards that don’t represent you, or represent you less than other cards, and discard them. To help you in this choice, you can rank them in decreasing order of representativeness
- Extract N cards (from the bottom of the deck) and put them in the center of the table to reach 10 cards on the table.
- (TIME: 40 seconds) Select from 0 to 2 cards from the table (based on how many cards she/he discarded).
