INTRODUCTION

DesignedbyTheGIANTRoom

Something super weird (and oh, so wonderful!) is happening in this game book! Our characters are getting mixed and remixed into a deck of collectible trading cards that you can play all sorts of games with!

DesignedbyTheGIANTRoom

We are extremely honored to partner with Connecticut State Libraries and bring GIANT creative STEM experiences to the Connecticut community at the Killingly Public Library. We implemented a Remix Station with Killingly Public Library’s director, Claudette Stockwell.

DesignedbyTheGI

More than 50 participants joined, dreamed, created, and shared. Here, we have “remixed” their creations into a one-of-a-kind game set inviting all kids (and adults) to collect the trading cards and get slapping, improvising, drawing, storytelling, searching, and listening.

DesignedbyTheGIANTRoom

I want to thank the librarians and staff from Killingly Public Library for their partnership. Funding for this program was made possible by the Connecticut State Library and Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA), provided through the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS)

Review the jacks:

DesignedbyTheGIANTRoom

Before you start, study the four Egg-Hatcher Trading Cards on the next page. These will be the special "jacks" in the game that you'll be slapping for!

Deal the deck:

Shuffle the cards and deal them evenly among the players. Keep your cards facedown – no peeking!

Start slapping:

The first player flips over the top card from their deck, placing it face-up in the center. Everyone keeps an eye out for the special EggHatcher "jacks."

Slap it:

DesignedbyTheGIANTRoom

DesignedbyTheGIANTRo

When one of the four special "jack" EggHatcher cards is played, be the first to slap it! The quickest slapper gets to collect all the cards in the center

Continue playing:

Take turns flipping over cards and slapping when a "jack" appears. The player who collects all the cards in the deck wins!

Only slap for the special Egg-Hatcher "jacks" – don't get too trigger-happy!

Watch out for false slaps! If you slap a non-"jack" card, you have to add an additional card to the center pile.

Keep the game friendly and fun – no overly aggressive slapping!

WAYS

Change Up the Jacks:

Decide on a different group of four Egg-Hatchers to be the “jacks.”
