Ponduwhat: a card game to be played with friends (at least 2 others). The real rules of the game is 1) You can not talk about the rules, expect for this and the very next. 2) After each round the winner adds a new rule.

The card game works in this way. The player that knows the game, gets to begin. 7 cards are dealt to each player and one is turned over from the draw pile. Cards are to be put down by matching suit or number. The difficult part in this game is that there is no talking. This rule gets a lot of new players in trouble because no rules are known, they must figure it out by themselves. The person that knows the rules and the game will give out the penalties. What usually happens is no one knows what card to put so they ask, therefore the player that knows, gives them a card and says "Penalty for talking." Any further talking still results in more penalties. The real rules of the following are this: (normally not to be discussed or penalties are to be given): 1) No talking 2) Talking is only allowed if a player say "cards down" 3) While cards are down no one is allowed to touch their own cards 4) Only the player that said "cards down" can say "cards up" 5) When a King is played, the player must say "monkey" 6) When a 10 is played, the player must say "I like marshmallows" 7) When a 5 is played, the player must say "Have a nice day" 8) If a penalty is not called before the next player touches a card then it can no longer be called and player that called penalty is penalized for talking. 9) If there is no card to play, draw a card, if the new card can be played then play it, if it can not be played it moves to the next player 10) When changing between suits, player must knock (ex. a K of hearts is on the table, and a player wants to play a K of spades. Player must knock once and say "Monkey", but not in any particular order) 11) If more than one suit change has occurred then one knock is added for each time (ex. an 8 of clubs was originally on the table, the next player knocked once and played an 8 of hearts, the next player wants to play an 8 of diamonds - this player must knock twice, if the next player wants to play the 8 of spades, then they must knock 3 times) 12) When one card remains the player must say "Pondu" 13) When player goes out they must say "Pondu out" as well as any other rules that may apply to that card 14) The winner of each round gets to add any rule they wish for the next round How this works: say a player wants to add a rule that you can only play with your right hand, when someone plays with their left hand the player will give a card to the player playing with the left hand and say "Penalty for playing with your left hand", once the rule is broken and a penalty is called the penalty must be stated for what was done wrong. Say the next round a player wants to add the rule that each time a 2 of diamonds is played the player must run around a pole. The second this is broken a penalty is called "Penalty for not running around the pole" This is a more difficult rule because it will take longer to figure out that you must only run around the pole for a 2 of diamonds and not all cards or all 2's.    Once a rule is in place it stays in place during that sitting unless a player changes/takes away a rule during that sitting.

Any rules can be added. They can regard to cards, certain cards, all cards, certain suits, anything. Rules can regard to what people say, activities, anything.
