About the game

What you do in a play session

HAYUKE is a fast-paced, adrenaline-pumping party game where you need to think fast and talk even faster! The game comes with two decks: one of questions and one of conditions. Each player gets a hand of condition cards, which have restrictions like 'starts with K' or 'contains an A'. One player flips a question card and reads aloud something like 'a bird', 'a city', or 'something you would find in a kitchen'. Then, everyone races to give an answer that fits the question and also satisfies at least one of the conditions in their hand. The first player to play a condition card and say a valid answer wins the points on the card and places it in front of them. But beware: if the answer isn't valid, the card goes back to your hand and you lose your chance to try again. And there's more: you can play multiple cards at once if the answer satisfies all of them, but you need to play them all together, not one by one. And if someone contests your answer? The table decides by vote! Half of the questions are kept in reserve for the next game, so there's always something new. Plus, you can swap up to three condition cards during the game. When one of the decks runs out, it's time to tally up the points. The player with the most points wins!
