Each player is given a hand
with 2 different types of cards-10 value cards with different dollar
values (including a "reproduction" or $0 card) that will be the same
for all players and 3 Antique Speak cards, which have words used in the
antique business and are dealt randomly from a deck of 32 different
cards. The object of the game is to get rid of all the cards in your
hand.
Each player is also given a
number of antique cards, with an item pictured, which will be used to
drive the game play.
On each player's turn, an
antique card is selected. Each player will then choose a value card
from his hand to correspond to the value the player thinks the antique
is worth and places it in front of him. Once that is done, the player
whose turn it is reads two stories that are printed on the back of the
card. One is true, the other false. As the stories are read, if a term
is used that is listed on an Antique Speak card held by a player, that
player can discard that card as well as any value card that is still in
his hand.
After the stories are read, all
the players except the one who read the stories will vote on which
story they think is true. The true story and actual appraised value are
then revealed. All players who guessed the correct value can discard
the value card they used for their guess. All players who guessed the
correct story can discard any value card, including the one used to
guess the value on this turn (if they guessed the value wrong.)
As soon as a player is out of
cards at the end of a turn, the game ends.
