Even Divide

This item is not in the library — it is a part of: Follow the Images.

This game works better with the even amount of Players. Choose the Player that will signal the end of the first turn and make sure you can follow the order of Players (e.g. if you sit in a circle, go clockwise).

Pattern: Pyramid with 6 cards at the base.
Start: Start at the single card at the top of the pyramid.
Movement: On every round move individually one step down the pyramid to the neighboring card (down-left or down-right).
Timing: Every round signaled by the next Player according to the order you established before the game.
End: Everyone should arrive at the bottom of the pyramid at the same time to end the piece soon after. Remember where you ended.
Goal: Look at the bottom of the pyramid and check 3 left cards and 3 right cards. Your task is to have at the end equal amount of Players in both halves (±1 if odd number).

If you have a short hourglass (~1 min), you can treat it as a signal for a step down. One player will be tasked with taking care for turning the hourglass.

You may use a token to mark at what level of the pyramid everyone should be playing. If you use hourglass, you may also "step down" with it on every round.

A harder variant is with a goal of every player landing on a different card in the bottom layer of the pyramid.
