## Description
You know those kinds of games that turn your table into absolute chaos filled with laughter and shouting? That's exactly what Telma is! The backstory is almost as funny as the gameplay itself: it all starts with Berenice, a 12th-century girl who was so skilled at memory games that she used to taunt her friends by yelling 'Tell my name!'. Consequently, the nickname 'Telma' stuck and became the title of this frantic game.

The dynamics are simple, but the execution is where the adrenaline kicks in. At the start, every player chooses a unique nickname. Cards are dealt, and everyone begins playing them onto the table, one by one. The secret is paying close attention: the moment two matching cards appear, the players who played them enter a reflex duel. The goal is to shout the other person's nickname as fast as humanly possible. The quickest one wins the round, while the slower player is stuck with the cards from the table!

It's a race against time and your own memory. The ultimate goal is to get rid of all the cards in your hand to achieve a glorious victory. With the third edition, things got even wilder with the addition of special cards that shake up the strategy and create even more confusion among the players. It's the perfect icebreaker for parties, family gatherings, or simply to see who has the sharpest reflexes in the group. There's no complex reading or hours of rule-studying required, so anyone from kids to adults can join in within seconds. If you're looking for something light, fast-paced, and guaranteed to bring out the laughs, Telma is the right choice to energize the crowd.
