Spoons: goal and players
Play Spoons online on JAWNA at jawna.app. Check the goal and supported player counts before inviting your group. Read the rules even if you know the game: familiar names can have different variants, and your usual house rules may differ from the selected version.
Supported table sizes: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 players. Choose a player count in the game settings. In partner variants, check seats and teams first. In individual formats, each player competes for their own result. The in-game How to play screen provides details. Agree on the variant before your first round together.
How to play: rules
- 3 to 8 players, everyone at once. There is one spoon fewer than players on the tray. Everyone holds four cards.
- The dealer picks up from the deck; everyone else picks up what the player before them passed. With five cards, pass one on at once by tapping it (the last player passes onto the pile, which becomes the deck again).
- Nobody waits for anybody: pass as fast as you can and collect four of a kind.
- Four of a kind? Tap the tray to grab a spoon. The moment one spoon goes, anyone may grab one, so keep an eye on the tray!
- Whoever is left without a spoon takes a letter of SPOON (or PAN in the short game).
- Spell the whole word and you’re out; the next deal has one spoon fewer. The last player left wins.

History & origins
Spoons is part of the traditional passing-and-collecting card-game family also associated with Pig.
Players quietly collect matching ranks, but completing a set suddenly changes the contest into a race for a shared object.
Its appeal comes from combining hidden progress with visible reactions. Households use spoons or other markers, and no single original inventor is securely established.
