AKSARAY - DEVE / CÜCE (SIT DOWN / STAND UP)

-

We have playing this game for many years in Turkey. It is really simple and fun. You can include any number of players. Just up to you. You choose one, and s/he says 'camel' 'dwarf' in Turkish. When s/he says 'camel', the others stand up. And if s/he says 'dwarf', they sit down. If anyone does the wrong action, s/he loses.

(You can use 'stand up' for 'camel' 'sit down' for 'dwarf')
 

Have fun with the game

Players: It´s a team game. We need two people at least. Materials: Old Spanish deck-cards/ old cards. We cut the card in half , make a cross with the two parts, and fold it . We have the “patacones” On one side we have “heads” on the other one  we have “tails” Rules: Each player has several “patacones” At the beginning of the games it is decided how many “patacones" each player plays/bets and the order of the players. Opposite a Wall we draw a line. From the line we trow “the patacones“ against the Wall. Each player has also decided “head or tails” “The patacones" which matches with their  bets are the winners, the rest are thrown after them. When there are no more “patacones” left, they  begin again. The “Patacones” can be thron one by one or all at a time, but this has to be decided at the beginning of the game. There is another way to play, similar to a “picture card game”. The patacones are placed face down and by hitting with their hand try to turn them over. If y
