The Ageless Challenge - Is the Hand Quicker than the Eye?

A simple game where everyone gets to try their hand at shuffling the shells. Correct guesses earn the guesser the right to place markers on one of the color scoring cards. Incorrect guesses mean the dealer/mixer gets to score. The score cards are relatively Bingo-esque and you can place your tokens to win or to block.
