Travel English Compounds Blackjack Playing Board How to play the game Shuffle the pack of cards and deal 7 cards to each person. Put any remaining cards onto the box on the left below. The person on the dealers left starts. They must try to place a card onto the square below to make a compound noun in English, for example Departure time or Time limit. If they cannot go they have to take another card. Play passes to the next person. The aim of the game is to get rid of all your cards. The person who has no cards left first is the winner. There are several special cards, shown below. After using PICK UP, SKIP and REVERSE cards, play starts again and the next person can use any card in their hand. If there are only two players in a group, REVERSE cards are used the same as SKIP cards.
