La bataille des Alphamons

La bataille des Alphamons is a simple simultaneous action selection game for two to 6 players. This game was designed to teach the alphabetical order to young children.

Start by making an alignment with the small alphabet cards that are numbered 1 to 26. This will be used as a reference: letter a will be the smallest and the z will be the highest card. Deal 9 cards to each player. They all have a card printed on it. All players choose a card, then reveal them simultaneously. Use the reference cards to check witch card is the highest. The highest card wins the trick and take all the cards. After 9 rounds, the one who has the most cards wins the game.

Alternate rule for older children: If all the players are familiar with the alphabetical order, you can play with the following rules: Each time someone makes a trick, the player that has revealed the lowest card can swap 2 cards in the alphabet. When you have played all the cards in your hand, take the cards you have won to continue playing. The game ends when one of the player has no more cards. The player who has the most cards wins the game.
