The tiles are double sided, so you may not see the fruit that you need immediately. Your goal is now to pick up a tile which has a matching fruit to one of the exposed fruits on either end of your stack.Īll players are doing the same thing simultaneously, so you have to be quick to pick up the fruit you need when you see it. The new tile is picked up and then placed next to the start tile so that the matching tiles are touching each other. The goal is to now find a matching fruit to either of the fruits depicted on his starting tile.

When the game starts, each player takes a tile from the board and quickly looks at both sides of the tile. The bunch of tiles is dumped out on the table and organized so that none of them overlap each other and that all of them are within reach of all players. There are sixteen different fruit varieties in the game, and each of them is found six times on the tiles. Tutti Frutti is a frenetic game that can often be played in less time than it takes to explain it! (This review won’t take much longer than that either!) The game itself is made up of 48 Fruit tiles which are double sided.

Times played: 4, with review copy provided by Gigamic.

If, for example, cards showing 3, 1 and 4 bananas are on the table and the 3 is then covered by a non-banana card, suddenly five bananas are showing and somebody better be reaching for the bell. Keep in mind that a five-of-a-kind can occur both when cards are revealed and when they're covered. When two players are left, they play until the bell is struck once more, then the game ends and the taller deck wins. If you're correct, you pick up all the played cards and put them into your deck if you're wrong, you pay the other players one card each. As each player reveals her next card, the instant you see a total of five of one kind of fruit on the table, hit the bell. All players hold their deck face down and take turns dealing one card face up in front of them. The deck is distributed evenly between the players.

The deck contains 56 playing cards showing four kinds of fruit in groups of 1 to 5 and a bell of the type found at hotel reception desks. Halli Galli is a speed action game in which players watch for sets of exactly five fruit.
