About the game

What is Oh My Gourds!

In OH MY GOURDS!, players are rival farmers sneaking around at night and smashing each other's prized produce to make sure that their own gourds will win the 'Best Gourd' prize at the state fair.

Each game of OH MY GOURDS! is played as a series of simultaneous 2 player duels. Players each have a deck of cards numbered 1-9 representing their gourds. 9 is the biggest gourd, and 1 is the smallest.

To duel, two players each put one of their cards face down in front of them in their 'lock box', then announce to the other player which of their opponent's cards they want to destroy. if the named card is in their opponent's hand, it is put in the center of the table face down and removed from play.

Finally, both players secretly compare the cards in their lock boxes. If those two cards are the same value, OR if their values added together equal exactly 10, both of those cards are ALSO put in the center of the table face down and removed from play. Otherwise, the lock box cards go back to their owners hands.
