Whot*
Cards are illustrated with shapes and numbers. The game is simple; match the shape or number on your card to the one on the previous card. The first player to get rid of all their cards wins.
There are five colors: stars, circles, squares, crosses, and triangles. You can change the color by playing the same number that was previously played in your chosen color. The card with the number 20 can switch between any colors at any time. The first player finished counts the points for the cards remaining in hand, with certain cards counting as double. Whot! was invented in 1935 and gained popularity in the UK during the 1950s and 1960s.
