The first guesser to put his or her hand on the correct secret card gets
to take that card. That child then chooses a new secret card and exp-
lains it to the other players.
If a child guesses the wrong card that card remains in the middle of the
table. The child is not allowed to guess again in that round. All other
children continue to guess.
If no child guesses the secret card correctly, the card remains in the
middle of the table and the next child describes a different card.

table. The child with the highest stack wins. If more kids have the same
number of cards then there is more than one winner!
